Quotes About Grief Quotes

“Do not judge your grief, love. Do not rush it or constrict it or attempt to corral it into something the world will understand. Your grief doesn't give a sweet fuck about the rest of the world anyway. Your grief only cares that it is lived and expressed in you, that the fire of her is allowed to burn itself wild until it burns itself out.
It doesn’t have to make sense. It probably won’t. But it won’t be denied. So let it come, live its full expression. Embrace the animal of it until it is spent. It’s going to happen anyway, but if you don’t fight it, if you honor and respect it, your grief fully expressed can be its own wild muse.”

“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.”
