Part One

What is Grief!



~via grieving mother, Darlene Thomas


  • Grief is more than just a constellation of feelings in response to a loss.







~via grieving mother, Jill Compton

  • Grief does not fade with the passage of time. We do not realize our losses in an instant; we realize them over years. We do not get over it, but instead go through it, not just once, but many times.

  • Grief changes form and eludes definition. 





~The Compassionate Friends/USA

  • Grief sits on your chest, punches you in the gut, squeezes your throat, winds everything up breaking-point tight, and sucks the energy out of you.

  • Grief is rejected offerings and ungranted prayers.






~via Grieving Mothers

  • Grief is feeling guilty because we did not stop death, could not revert death, and cannot change death.






    ~In Memory of Lost Loved Ones

    • Grief is unabashedly wailing and drowning in your own snot and tears.





      ~In Memory of Lost Loved Ones

      • Grief is the yearning, the reaching, and the unrequited love that hides behind our losses.






      ~In Memory of Lost Loved Ones

      • Grief is celebration.
