Appreciate life instead of resisting it.
Grief is a wound that needs attention in order to heal.
Although our love never dies, the pain of our loss can eventually dissolve.
Emotionally, grief is a mixture of raw feelings such as sorrow, anguish, anger, regret, longing, fear, and deprivation. Grief may be experienced physically as exhaustion, emptiness, tension, sleeplessness, or loss of appetite.
Though we may not always be able to avoid pain, we can choose how much we suffer.
We learn to face the reality and the pain of our loss, to say good-bye to the dead loved one, to restore ourselves, and to reinvest in life once again.
