About grief, tears and sorrow

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

love leaves a memory no one can steal.

/From a headstone in Ireland

Grieving is a necessary passage and a difficult transition

to finally letting go of sorrow

– it is not a permanent rest stop.

They are a sign of a pure heart.

Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul.

I find myself searching the crowds for your face

– I know it’s an impossibility, but I cannot help myself.

🍃

It’s so curious: one can resist tears and ‘behave’ very well in the hardest hours of grief.

But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window,

or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed,

or a letter slips from a drawer… and everything collapses.

/Colette

Keeping grief inside increases your pain.

There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept,

things we don’t want to know but have to learn,

and people we can’t live without but have to let go.
