Too many people I've loved dearly have left this earth. And some I've lost are still here breathing the same air. That grief can be comparable if not worse in its consumption.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Loss doesn't feel redeemable. But for me one consoling aspect is the recognition that, in this at least, none of us is different from anyone else: We all lose loved ones; we all face our own death.
Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates.
Grief is perhaps an unknown territory for you. You might feel both helpless and hopeless without a sense of a 'map' for the journey. Confusion is the hallmark of a transition. To rebuild both your inner and outer world is a major project.
But there is a discomfort that surrounds grief. It makes even the most well-intentioned people unsure of what to say. And so many of the freshly bereaved end up feeling even more alone.
I don't move away from grief, rather through it.
I had seen people who had lost everything and everyone they loved to war, famine, and natural disasters.
Life is really pretty tricky, and there's a lot of loss, and the longer you stay alive, the more people you lose whom you actually couldn't live without.
Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn!
Grief is exhausting.
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.
