Here are a few quotes on grief and loss I came across in my lunch hour internet browsing:
It isn't for the moment you are struck that you need courage, but for the long up hill battle to faith, sanity and security. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance, and inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy, their understanding." Helen Keller
Grief is a tidal wave that over takes you, smashes down upon you with unimaginable force, sweeps you up into its darkness, where you tumble and crash against unidentifiable surfaces, only to be thrown out on an unknown beach, bruised, reshaped... Grief will make a new person out of you, if it doesn't kill you in the making. Stephanie Ericsson
Our grief always brings a gift. It's the gift of greater sensitivity and compassion for others. We learn to rise above our own grief by reaching out and lessening the grief of others.
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. Booker T. Washington
Boy, do I ever know how to have fun on my lunch hour!
