Cordelia! stay a little. Ha! What is't thou say'st? Her voice was ever soft.
William Shakespeare
Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
Henry David Thoreau
Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.
How could you go about choosing something that would hold the half of your heart you had to bury?
Jodi Picoult
The death of a beloved is an amputation.
C.S. Lewis
In this sad world of ours sorrow comes to all and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement.
Abraham Lincoln
You attend the funeral, you bid the dead farewell. You grieve. Then you continue with your life. And at times the fact of her absence will hit you like a blow to the chest, and you will weep. But this will happen less and less as time goes on. She is dead. You are alive. So live.
Neil Gaiman
You don't know who is important to you until you actually lose them.
Mahatma Gandhi
