“Grief is strange. It doesn’t care about rules. It creeps up on you when you least expect it, sinking into your bones to drag you under just when you think you can breathe again.” GriefGrief And LossGrief And Healing Book:Harper's Landing Source: Harper's Landing
“It’s all well and good wanting to recover and grow and move forward, but healing’s only healing if you’re ready—otherwise it’s just punishment.” GriefHealingRecoveryGrief And HealingInspirational Healing Book:Harper's Landing Source: Harper's Landing
“Grief isn’t linear. It comes in waves. Some are tsunamis—early on, most of them are. They knock your legs away again and again and again. You never have time to get back to your feet. Over time, the waves get smaller. It doesn’t get easier, just more manageable—but right after you lose someone, where you’re learning your new reality without them in it, it’s like being on the beach as a little kid, and you see the water coming, and you know that no matter what you do, you can’t get out of the way in time. What people don’t tell you is that sometimes, the waves can get real big again for no reason. They come out of nowhere and steal your breath, and it hurts just as bad, even after years. Decades.” GriefHealingMental HealthGrief And LossGrief And Healing Book:Harper's Landing Source: Harper's Landing
“Humans learn to adapt despite anything and everything. Every blow, every strike, every catastrophic, life-levelling event—you just carry on, because what’s the alternative? But it doesn’t make it hurt any less.” GriefHealingMental HealthRecoveryGrief And Healing Book:Harper's Landing Source: Harper's Landing
