Allowing children to show their guilt, show their grief, show their anger, takes the sting out of the situation. Martha Beck
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. Cicero
Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with. Mark Twain
Grief seems at first to destroy not just all patterns, but also to destroy a belief that a pattern exists. Julian Barnes
I was initially planning to write about grief in terms of Eurydice and the myth thereof. By that point the overall metaphor of height and depth and flat and falling and rising was coming into being in my mind. Julian Barnes
If a man be gloomy let him keep to himself. No one has the right to go croaking about society, or what is worse, looking as if he stifled grief. Benjamin Disraeli
Nothing I read about grief seemed to exactly express the craziness of it; which was the interesting aspect of it to me - how really tenuous our sanity is. Joan Didion
One of the things that happens to people in grief is they secretly think they're crazy, because they realize they are thinking things that don't make sense. Joan Didion
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.C. S. Lewis
