Quotes on the Grieving Process

Here are a few inspirational quotes to help you heal during your grieving process.  Sometimes a simple quote can make all the difference.  If you or a family member is having a hard time during this process please reach out.

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.” 
― Anne Lamott

“Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.” 
― Leo Tolstoy

“Deep grief sometimes is almost like a specific location, a coordinate on a map of time. When you are standing in that forest of sorrow, you cannot imagine that you could ever find your way to a better place. But if someone can assure you that they themselves have stood in that same place, and now have moved on, sometimes this will bring hope” 
― Elizabeth Gilbert

“You can not die of grief, though it feels as if you can. A heart does not actually break, though sometimes your chest aches as if it is breaking. Grief dims with time. It is the way of things. There comes a day when you smile again, and you feel like a traitor. How dare I feel happy. How dare I be glad in a world where my father is no more. And then you cry fresh tears, because you do not miss him as much as you once did, and giving up your grief is another kind of death.” 
Laurell K. Hamilton

Grieve Not

Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you.
I loved you so-'twas Heaven here with you.

I Am Not Gone

I Am Not Gone

I am not gone
I remain here beside you
Just in a different form
Look for me in your heart
And there you will find me
In our love which forever lives on

In those moments when you feel alone
Look for me in your thoughts
And there you will find me
In sweet memories that burn strong

Every time a tear
Forms in your beautiful eyes
Look up to the heavens
And there you will see me
Smiling down from God's glorious skies

Death is Nothing At All

Death is Nothing At All

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it was.
Let it always be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.

All is well.

To My Mom

This poem was shared with us from one of the families we have served.  There are many ways to cope with the grief of losing a loved one, sometimes it takes writing your feelings down on paper. 

To My Mom
Catherine I Havens
(Date of Death: October 5, 2009)
(Date of Poem:  October 5, 2010)
I can’t believe a year has gone by
My tears keep flowing, every day I still cry
A part of me died with you that day
And I don’t know if the pain will ever go away
I pray to God to give me strength to go on
To live my life for however long
And when it’s my time I hope I will see
Your beautiful smiling face looking at me
And we will be together again for eternity
All my love forever,
Kathy

I wrote this poem to my Mom on the 1st year anniversary of her passing while I was sitting in my car at the cemetery, after visiting her grave site, and not wanting to leave.  The 1st year since her passing had been very difficult for me.  At times, I didn’t know if I could stand the pain of losing her.  I just couldn’t let her go.  It wasn’t until the words to the poem I wrote that day started flowing through my head and I put them on paper that I suddenly felt a sense of calm and knew that it was OK to let go and time for me to move forward in my life.
My faith tells me she is in a beautiful place and with Jesus.  There’s a song called ‘I Can Only Imagine’ by Mercy Me and it speaks of what is the first thing we will do when we see Jesus’s face.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus?  Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing ‘Hallelujah!’?  Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine!  I can only imagine!
Just imagine what our loved ones did when they first saw Jesus.  What a beautiful moment that must have been.  I can only imagine what I will do.
