When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
When you are sorrowful, look again.
Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them.
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths.
Grief is the price we pay for love.
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die.
The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.
