There is a catharsis on griefy days that only those who are grieiving are familiar with – beautiful quotes, poems, and stories.
Metaphors are often relatable to people who are grieving because there is no way to properly explain what grief feels like as it’s not actually a feeling.
Grief is an experience.
As a long-time griever and grief knower, I have a soft spot for grief. I run Grief Peer Support Sessions to remain connected to this part of me and make space for others who just want to be around someone who “gets it”.
No one can escape grief. If you have experienced loss, then you have experienced grief.
Here are some of my favourite quotes from a book called Love & Loss – The Timeless Wisdom Series.
