“It was among farmers and potato diggers and old men in workhouses and beggars at my own door that I found what was beyond these and yet farther beyond that drawingroom poet of my childhood in the expression of love, and grief, and the pain of parting, that are the disclosure of the individual soul.” MenSoulPainFoundIndividualMy OwnGriefDoorsChildhoodPoetExpressionOld ManFarmersPotatoesPartingBeggarDisclosureExpressions Of LoveWorkhouses Book:The Kiltartan Poetry Book Source: The Kiltartan Poetry Book
“One of the difficulties with grief research is that it risks making certain kinds of grief seem normal and others abnormal - and of course having a sense of the contours of grief is, I think, truly useful, one has to remember it's not a science, it's an individual reckoning, which science is just trying to help us describe.” ThinkingTryingKindHelpingSeemsRememberCertainCoursesIndividualGriefRiskNormalResearchDifficultyAbnormalReckoning Author:Meghan O'Rourke
“These kinds of tragedies [like shooting in Fort Lauderdale] have happened too often during the eight years that I've been president. The pain, the grief, the shock that they must be going through is enormous. I've asked me staff to reach out to the mayor down there and make sure that coordination between the state and local officials is what it should be. But I think we'll find out over the next 24 hours exactly how this happened and what motivated this individual.” ThinkingShouldYearsKindStatesPainNextIndividualPresidentHoursGriefHappenedTragedyEightEnormousLocalsShootingOfficialsShockMotivatedReach OutStaffMayorsFortsCoordination Author:Barack Obama
“Before she is an individual, a shaman is foremost a vehicle for receiving and expressing the grief and indignation of the people within society. The otherworldly strength that you see during a gut is the raging effort to forget and overcome the weakness of the self and is possible because it bears all the wrath and indignation of the people against oppression. Extraordinary acts performed with remarkable exaggeration encounter the human instinct to demolish one's own limitations, producing catharsis.” PeopleIndividualForgetEffortGriefWeaknessOvercomingInstinctExtraordinaryRageOppressionLimitationGutsRemarkableVehicleExaggeration Author:Hyon Gyon
“For my omniscience paid I toll In infinite remorse of soul. All sin was of my sinning, all Atoning mine, and mine the gall Of all regret. Mine was the weight Of every brooded wrong, the hate That stood behind each envious thrust, Mine every greed, mine every lust. And all the while for every grief, Each suffering, I craved relief With individual desire, – Craved all in vain! And felt fierce fire About a thousand people crawl; Perished with each, — then mourned for all!” PeopleSoulDesireSufferingHateIndividualFeltSinGriefBehindsFireMinesRegretThousandWeightPaidInfiniteGreedLustVainReliefFierceRemorseThrustEnviousTollsSinningOmniscience Book:Renascence and Other Poems Source: Renascence and Other Poems
“Grief causes you to leave yourself. You step outside your narrow little pelt. And you can’t feel grief unless you’ve had love before it - grief is the final outcome of love, because it’s love lost. […] It’s the cycle of love completed: to love, to lose, to feel grief, to leave, and then to love again. Grief is the awareness that you will have to be alone, and there is nothing beyond that because being alone is the ultimate final destiny of each individual living creature. That’s what death is, the great loneliness.” FeelsLittlesIndividualLostCausesLosesGriefStepsDestinyAwarenessLonelinessCreaturesUltimateFinalsOutcomesCyclesLost LoveLiving CreaturesLove Again Author:Philip K.

“The deep pain that is felt at the death of every friendly soul arises from the feeling that there is in every individual something which is inexpressible, peculiar to him alone, and is, therefore, absolutely and irretrievably lost.” SoulFeelingsPainDeathIndividualLostFeltGriefSorrowSadAriseGrievingFriendlyGrief And LossPeculiarDeath Of A Loved OneGriefingGrief LossPain And SorrowDeath GriefGrief And DeathGrief And MourningLoss Loved One InspirationalDeath Of A FriendHelp With GriefInspirational GriefDeep SorrowDeep GriefPain DeathDeep Pain Book:Parerga and Paralipomena: Short Philosophical Essays Source: Parerga and Paralipomena: Short Philosophical Essays
“Who is it that loves and who that suffers? He alone stages a play with Himself; who exists save Him? The individual suffers because he perceives duality.

“It is a strange paradox that while the grief of football fans(and it is real grief) is private - we each have an individual relationship with our clubs, and I think that we are secretly convinced that none of the other fans understands quite why we have been harder hit than anyone else - we are forced to mourn in public, surrounded by people whose hurt is expressed in forms different from our own.” PeopleThinkingHas BeensDifferentRealFormIndividualHurtGriefFansFootballStrangeHarderClubsConvincedParadoxMournFootball Fan Author:Nick Hornby
