Quotes on Death Mourning

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude.

Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.

A human life is a story told by God.

He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
