“The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God!”
– Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
“Grief is the price we pay for love.” – Queen Elizabeth
“Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.”
― Leo Tolstoy
“In a culture that doesn’t like to acknowledge loss or talk about the impact, it’s difficult to grieve. When we add this silence to the fact that most of us have never been taught about the process and normalcy of grief, no wonder we struggle.”
