20 Grief Quotes for Coping with Great Loss

Healing Grief Quotes for Coping with Great Loss can help us put our own thoughts and feelings into perspective. When you are grieving, it can be hard to see or think straight.

Grief Quotes provide solace and companionship during difficult times. They can be helpful reminders that you are not alone in your pain, and offer words of comfort to help you through the healing journey. Quotes can also serve as a source of inspiration, enabling us to stay strong and strive for hope even in the darkest moments.

As far as I can see, grief will never truly end. It may become softer over time, more gentle, but some days will feel sharp, but grief will last as long as love does— forever. It’s simply the way the absence of your loved on manifests in your heart. A deep longing, accompanied by the deepest love. Some days, the heavy fog may return, and the next day, it may recede, once again. It’s all an ebb and flow, a constant dance of sorrow and joy, pain and sweet love.

So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

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.

Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.

Sometimes it’s okay that the only thing you did today was breathe.

It is kind of shocking when your world falls to pieces and everything and everyone around you carries on with life. How can the birds continue to sing? How can people carry on loving life? It is like you have become frozen in time and are now watching life like a movie. As the weeks and months roll by, life becomes more real again, but you will never forget that point in time where life stood still.

People keep telling me that life goes on. But to me, that’s the saddest part.

Moving on doesn’t mean you forget about things. It just means you have to accept what’s happened and continue living.

I said: what about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.
I said: what about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.
I said: what about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?
I said: pain and sorrow…
He said: Stay with it.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

She’s in the sun, the wind, the rain, she’s in the air you breathe with every breath you take. She sings a song of hope and cheer, there’s no more pain, no more fear. You’ll see her in the clouds above, hear her whisper words of love. You’ll be together before long, until then listen for her song.

There are some who bring a light so great to the world that ever after they have gone, the light remains.

Grief never ends. But it changes. It’s a passage. Not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness. Nor a lack of faith. It’s the price we pay for love.

For the rest of my life, I will search for moments full of you.

Love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves it’s own mark. To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.

Until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them.
