Grief is a heartbreaking, soul-crushing, brain-warping experience that not one of us would voluntarily choose to have. We would never sign up to experience the losses we’ve lived through or the pain that follows.

Quote
The night that our friend's wife died, my brokenhearted husband called his mother: "What do I say? What do I do? What will fix this? There is nothing else to do. You do this every day. Mom: what do I do for my friend?""Now is the time to sit with him", she said.There is nothing to say. Stop thinking there is something to say to make it go away. It won't go away. Abandon your answers. Avoid your cliches. Don't blame God and don't blame him. Learn to sit in the sadness.

Quote
Moving on, as a concept, was mooted, a year or two after, by friendly men on behalf of their wellintentioned wives. Women who loved us. Women who knew me as a child.

The dealing with grief cannot be bypassed. It is a road you must walk, a race you must finish and no one else can do it for you. If you try to sneak through it without it seeing you, it will seep into your life when you least expect it. Grief will not let you go until you satisfy what it came to teach you.

Quote
The journey across the landscape of loss to the inner self takes courage and persistence. It is a risky venture, with lots of false trails and humanising errors. It requires gentleness to know your limits, yet willingness to apply pressure in the direction of growth. It is a journey that is not cost-free, nor is it ever finished. But, especially in the pitch darkness, it is a journey on which there is always hope.

Most people show compassion in the early weeks after a traumatic event, but their support fades. Grief is a process that takes longer than I would like—weeks, month, years. Don’t assume I am okay.

When you lose a child, you grieve once because you have lost her, when you are barren, you grieve every day because of the child you could have had
