‘Sometimes the simplest moments hold the most profound truths.’

‘For a time sorrow takes up the whole landscape, but joy will come again.’

“She taught me that grief is a time to be lived through, experienced fully, and that the heavens will not fall if I give voice to my anger against God in such a time.”

– Elizabeth Watson

‘My anger is legitimate, and will burn away sooner if I acknowledge and express it.’

‘I will use all the wisdom and power I possess to come through this well.’

“If you love me, l;et me go.”

‘Blessings on you, dear departed. I’m hoping to catch up with you, one of these days.’

‘I feel a wonderful freedom when I stop imagining my future sadness and live only in the present.’

“The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

‘Beneath the vast expanse of the sky, the panorama of clouds and stars, I can sense the order of the world, and feel secure.’

“…there is no more ridiculous custom than the one that makes you express sympathy once and for all on a given day to a person whose sorrow will endure as long as his life. Such grief, felt in such a way, is always “present”, it is never too late to talk about it, never repetitious to mention it again.”

– Marcel Proust

‘Yes, I may cry when you speak of it, but I’m still glad for your support.’

‘I will try to be fully present to this day – this day which is precious in itself and different from any other day I have had or will have.’

“It isn’t for the moment you are struck that you need courage, but for the long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security.”
