Grief Quotes

“Know that death comes to everyone, and that wealth will sometimes be acquired, sometimes lost.

But it is right to improve it as much as you can, and remember this: Fate does not give very many of these griefs to good people.”

“Grief does not change you. It reveals you. And herein lies the gift that cannot die. It changes the course of your life forever. If you allow yourself the chance to feel it for as long as you need to - even if it is for the rest of your life - you will be guided by it. You will become someone it would have been impossible for you to be, and in this way your loved one lives on, in you”
