Grief Healing Quotes

“The best way to make a line appear shorter without touching it is to draw a longer line next to it. It works with grief, too.”
― Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

“Grief.

It resists all of our timelines and attempts to control.

It is a wild animal of a thing, primal and raw in one moment, soft and tender and wounded in the next. Our bodies in those moments? Just portals for something so much bigger than we could ever be.

That’s the way of love and loss and grief and joy and all we hold in our wild and unruly hearts. Larger than anything we could construct to attempt to contain the whole of this human thing, as messy as it can sometimes be.

But when grief comes, mark my words, it will ultimately have its way.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc

“Healing doesn’t come from arriving at a destination. It comes from having the courage to keep showing up in the middle of it all, with your tears, your questions, your trembling voice, and saying, I’m still here.”
― Christina Stiverson, I Carry You: From Unimaginable Loss to Rewritten Grief, Find the Life Waiting for You
