You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

There's a general impulse to distract the grieving person - as if you could.

Grief starts to become indulgent, and it doesn't serve anyone, and it's painful. But if you transform it into remembrance, then you're magnifying the person you lost and also giving something of that person to other people, so they can experience something of that person.

Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.

When you lose a loved one, you come to these crossroads. You can take the path that leads you down the aisle of sadness, or you can say, 'I'm never going to let this person's memory die. I'm going to make sure everything they worked for continues.'

No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.

The thing about grief is that it's a roller coaster - it's up, it's down. The emotions sometimes take over.

No one can tell you what to expect or can offer a guide to grief. Because every relationship is so unique, no two people grieve the same way. And you have no idea how you are going to grieve till you are grieving.

As we wander, grieving, in yet another dark moment, amid our pain we must struggle to remember the redemptive power of love and hope.

Grief releases love and it also instills a profound sense of connection.
