The pain passes, but the beauty remains.
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.
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.
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.
Wherever you are you will always be in my heart.
Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
If you suppress grief too much, it can well redouble.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.
Those things that hurt, instruct.
