Grief Quotes
My best friends Grandmother just passed away
earlier this
week.Ironically, it was also the four year anniversary of my Uncle's
passing...Got me to thinking about Grief and how we deal with loss and
sadness.
None of us are exempt from loss- This is the
common
thread we all share.I find it reassuring to know that in any given
situation, we have choices and that in the case of grief and mourning-
It is okay to be sad, but it is also okay to make peace.
Below
is a collection of thoughts and quotations that touch upon grief and
grieving.It is my wish that they comfort you in your time of need.
