Quote

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

Grief is exhausting.

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

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.

Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.

Grief jumps out at you when you're least expecting it.

Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life.

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.

In our culture I think most people think of grief as sadness, and that's certainly part of it, a large part of it, but there's also this thorniness, these edges that come out.

If the condition of grief is nearly universal, its transactions are exquisitely personal.
