“I’ve worked hard to impel my grief from the inside to the outside, and I will most likely have to keep working at it for the rest of my life, for grief, as it progresses, is like the ever changeable weather, where one day it’s dark and rainy and the very next moment the sky can open up clear and beautiful.”

“It’s amazing to me how sometimes we can miss something that might be there, while other times we’re certain we’ve noticed something that really isn’t what we think it is. There is so much fallibility in being human, and yet we expect perfection from ourselves and practically everyone else in our lives. There’s no grace in that.”

“In his book Understanding Your Suicide Grief, Alan D. Wolfelt tells us grief and mourning are not the same things. He defines grief as “the compilation of thoughts and feelings that welled up within you when you first encountered this painful loss and that remain inside you as you cope with changes that this loss has brought in your life.”15 However, he goes on to say that mourning is actively and purposefully moving grief from the inside to the outside and expressing it externally.”
