Quote

In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.

Of joys departed, not to return, how painful the remembrance.

Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief.

There is no worse sorrow than remembering happiness in the day of sorrow.

Grief is only the memory of widowed affections.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.

There is a point in the grieving process when you can run away from memories or walk straight toward them.

For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear.

Oh, how miserable it is to have no one to share your sorrows and joys, and, when your heart is heavy, to have no soul to whom you can pour out your woes.

The heart forgets its sorrow and ache.
