Quote by C.S. Lewis

Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.

Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend

Summary

This quote metaphorically compares the experience of grief to navigating through a long valley. The valley symbolizes the emotional journey one goes through after experiencing loss or tragedy. Just like a winding valley, grief is unpredictable and varies in intensity. The quote suggests that at any point in the grieving process, we may unexpectedly encounter new emotions or perspectives, just as each bend in the valley reveals a different landscape. It highlights the complex and ever-changing nature of grief and acknowledges that healing and finding meaning can come from unexpected sources or experiences along the way.
