We Grieve to Dare to Once Love Again

Hither are 64 (Shhh! In that location are really 63) quotes virtually grief, coping and life after loss. Although we love a adept grief quote, Litsa and I were slow to join in on the quote-picture show phenomenon.  The Internet just seemed plastered with inspirational platitudes pasted on pictures of sunsets and rainbows. It all seemed then trite and reductive we decided non to add to the racket.  Then we got over ourselves.   A proficient quote serves many purposes.  A quote helps us put our own thoughts and feelings into perspective, it allows the states to use the words of others to communicate or to convey a message, and it helps the states to experience a sense of commonality when we find our feelings, experiences, and observations match those of another. We hope something here resonates with yous and feel free to steal and share any of these images with your grieving family unit and friends.

I find it impossible to allow a friend or relative get into that state to no return.
