‘I will try to open my hands – and my heart – to life as it is now.’

‘My loved one will be with me in these bittersweet moments of deepening relationship.’

‘In the universe we share, I trust that my loved one is safe.’

‘In the fellowship of those reborn out of grief, all are sisters and brothers.’

“When we start at the center of ourselves, we discover something worthwhile extending toward the periphery of the circle. We find again some of the joy in the now, some of the peace in the here, some of the love in me and thee which go to make up the kingdom of heaven on earth.”

– G.F. Sear

‘I have some control over how much I let sadness rule my life.’

‘My hope is found in my love, not in the degree of my grieving.’

‘As I repeat some of the patterns of our life together, I can almost sense the presence of my loved one.’

‘The beauty of the world in all its fullness is mine to claim.’

Happy Birthday sweet angel. I love you and miss you so much it hurts.

“Everyone can master a grief but he that has it.”

– William Shakespeare

‘What to reply when someone says, “It seems to me you should be getting over this by now’?

How about the above quote from William Shakespeare? Not only is it an appropriate response, but you’ll seem quite the scholar as well!

‘As I think about my loss, the strands of grief and memory and hope are mysteriously braided together.’
