• Our misconception is in imagining that our suffering or how intensely or how long we grieve is a measure of how much we loved.

  Grief, Grieving, Long

• Another misconception is that if we truly loved someone, we will never finish with our grief, as if continued sorrow is a testimonial to our love. But true love does not need grief to support its truth. Love can last in a healthy and meaningful way, once our grief is dispelled. We can honor our dead more by the quality of our continued living than by our constantly remembering the past.
