64 Things, Quotes, Lists

Here are 64 (okay fine, 63) quotes about grief, coping, and life after loss. Although we love a good grief quote, Litsa and I were slow to join in on the quote-pic phenomenon. The internet just seemed plastered with inspirational platitudes pasted on pictures of sunsets and rainbows. It all seemed so trite and reductive we decided not to add to the noise. Then we got over ourselves because, well, a good quote serves many purposes. A quote helps us put our own thoughts and feelings into perspective. It allows us to use the words of others to communicate or to convey a message. It helps us to feel a sense of commonality when we find our feelings, experiences, and observations match those of another. We hope something here resonates with you (and feel free to steal and share any of these images with your grieving family and friends).

“The times you lived through, the people you shared those times with; Nothing brings it all to life like an old mix tape. It does a better job of storing up memories than actual brain tissue can do. Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together, and they can add up to the story of a life.”

~ Rob Sheffield, Love is a Mix Tape

“When I think of death, and of late the idea has come with alarming frequency, I seem at peace with the idea that a day will dawn when I no longer be among those living in this valley of strange humors.

I can accept the idea of my own demise, but I am unable to accept the death of anyone else.

I find it impossible to let a friend or relative go into that country to no return.

Disbelief becomes my close companion, and anger follows in its wake.

I answer the heroic question ‘Death, where is thy sting?’ with ‘It is here in my heart and mind and memories. '”

~ Maya Angelou, When I Think of Death

“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built of a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted.

~ Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

25 Powerful Grief Quotes - Messages About Grieving and Loss

PeopleImagesGetty Images

Losing someone close to you — whether that's because of a death in the family, a divorce, or the ending of a friendship — is hard. Along with the initial shock, it's a challenge when you have to go on and learn how to navigate the future without them by your side. And because the grieving process is different for everyone, it can often be lonely and isolating. That why we've rounded up powerful quotes about grief to help you put into words what you're feeling. You can use these messages as a reminder that you're not alone, or you can share them with someone who is experiencing a loss as a source of comfort.

Some of the sayings below are short and positive to help drive home that time can heal all wounds, even if right now it doesn't feel that way. Others are longer (like the ones from famous authors) and a bit solemn for the days when you just want to read something that relates to your sadness.

The most important thing to remember is that grieving is totally normal, but if you need help getting through the bereavement process, reach out to the National Alliance on Mental Illness for guidance at 800-950-6264.

Ritual phrases are appropriate and at the wake after the funeral , and at the wake 9 and 40 days after death. Condolences in the funeral speech at the wake may include a well-known biblical saying.

Muslim etiquette of condolences is distinguished by a fatal attitude towards death and acceptance of loss. Requirements for rituals, clothing, behavior, symbols and gestures are determined more by the customs of the country, region and even a particular community.

Psychology of condolences

Doctor of Psychology Mika Estrada in the magazine "Psychology Today" gives some advice on how to comfort a grieving loved one. She begins with a quote:

"Hearing" someone else's soul to help it open up can be just about the greatest service a person will ever do to another person.
Douglas Steer (1986)

Psychological advice

Don't tell him/her how to feel ("don't worry, 'think about the future'...). The spiritual paradox of empathy is that overcoming one's own desire to "fix" or change how the grieving person feels . Grief is a normal, healthy response to loss.
“As life and death are two sides of the same coin, so are love and grief. Be as it will be. There is magic in your presence, acceptance and witness to someone else's grief. Give it away!"
Listen. Grief is individual, and it is better to listen carefully to the grieving person's feelings rather than trying to "say the right thing." Ask gentle, open questions and wait patiently for answers.
The magic of touch is healing. When we hold another person's hand, our breathing slows down, cortisol levels drop, and a sense of security comes.
Provide hands-on support. Help with your experience, time and actions to solve the pressing problems of the current moment. Calling a taxi, ordering bouquets of flowers or snacks, helping to organize an event, etc.

Psychology of perception words and signs of condolence embodies the idea:

“Today it is natural for you to experience what you feel. I'm near".

A beautiful and short epitaph for a monument: mother, father, son, daughter

“All the time in vain business,
Among papers and rubbish.
And here, now in the sun, now in the snow
Mother's grave.

"So quietly, modestly and sadly
Our mothers are leaving us..."

"You also left sadness as a legacy
To your loving children..."

– mother...”

And maternal virtue
Will not fade in our hearts. »

We would give everything that he asks.
Words... Words... Words... Words...
We all pronounce them after death. »

«The only, Beloved, Unique,
Who gave herself to us.

“You left us very early,
We mourn and remember, loving,
Dear grandmother and mother,
It is so difficult for us to live without you. »

«Star of fertile hope,
Star of love of magical days,
You will forever never set
In my yearning soul. »

“For the rest of our lives
We will have enough grief and sorrow,
About the one we loved,
And so suddenly lost”

“The voice of the native is not heard,
Kind, sweet eyes are not visible.
Why was fate cruel? -
So early you left us... »

«You wanted to share your love, cordiality, tenderness
with everyone.
There was no strength - you left for eternity,
Leaving us to live with sorrow. »

The land where you are no longer here. ..”

To lay flowers,
Very difficult, dear,
We can live without you”

We can’t find strength in the world to lift you up,
Even the sea cannot contain our tears.
How cruel is the fate that took you away.

"You left life instantly,
But the pain remained forever,
Your image is the sweetest, gentlest
We will never forget."

And there is no end to sorrow.
Immeasurable pain that tears apart
Orphaned hearts!”

Land above buried dreams...”

Life has brought her mortal oblivion,
And now life has been returned by death.”

Fate punished us. ..
You were not near us,
The sun stopped warming!"

And it is impossible to believe in your death!
I'm sorry [Name] for not being able to save you!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

But you can't believe your parent's heart,
That you were gone that day.

“To our little angel,
who returned to heaven...”

Sadness of a father, loneliness of a brother,
Sorrow of grandparents.”

O angel of pure beauty,
Amid hopeless sorrow
Have you left your father and mother?"

God, rest his soul."

Our favorite boy!”

Not to hear the words, not to see the eyes. ..
But you are always in our hearts."

Earth's minute beauty,
Why so early, my baby,
Have you flown to heaven?"

on your way to a wondrous garden...»

Lord, have mercy! -
One is in the sky,
the other is in my chest..."

"...More tender and irreversible
No one looked after you. ..
Kiss you - through hundreds of
Separating years..."

"Think of me easily,
Forget me easily!"

“And in the end I will say:
Farewell, don’t commit yourself to love!”

The tired body is resting...”

This - also in the list will take
Places called Paradise.

My ashes will survive...”

does not torment me at all;
pouring into something eternal,
it will no longer be me.”

It is he who is called life."

We come merry - and mourn.
We burn the heart with bitter tears
And we descend into dust, dispelling life like smoke.

“In the depths of heaven, a glass invisible to the eye;
He is prepared there for each of us.
Therefore, my friend, to its edges with your lips
Lean resignedly when your hour comes.

“You will live two hundred years or a thousand years
You will end up with ants for dinner anyway.
Dressed in silk or dressed in miserable rags,
Padishah or drunkard - there is no difference!

“Friend, do not worry about what is no more,
The light of today shines on us.
Tomorrow we all have an unknown path ahead of us
Following those who have gone for seven thousand years.

“I don't care now. The Yenisei swirls,
The polar star shines.
And the blue sparkle of beloved eyes
The last horror overshadows.

And the panikhida song flows,
Not sad now, but bright.

“... And the face became younger,
I recognized him again
And said:

“Lord God,
Accept Thy servant”

“Sleep - no one will interrupt your rest.
We are the edge of unknown roads.
All through the stormy night
The radiant hall burns here.”

“There, in the blue, we will meet our dawns,
All our dreams will last awake.
I'll follow you, believe me, my dear, soon
After the same dream, I'll float away into the vastness.

“You hear, friend, in the evening ringing:
Do not question your fate!
The nightingale on the maple whistles to us:
Love and Death, Death and Love!”

"And next to her, hope rested,
And the excitement of passion subsided,
And the enthusiastic strength of former years,
And the thirst for deeds, and the thoughts of young days."

“And in it the soul kept a store of
Bliss, torment and passions.
He died. Here is his grave.
It was not made for humans."

"... And it is sweet to me in the hours of suffering
Sometimes to remember in silence
Afterlife
Undying Souls."

“In the immeasurable hour of earthly longing
About death, about another homeland,
Openly boldly before me
Evidence of imperishable life. ”

"Earth is empty without you
And you fly... and the stars give you
their tenderness."

"... And I clearly see in those prophetic moments,
That life is waiting for an answer - and the answer is approaching,
What is - damnation, pain, despondency, oblivion,
Terrible separation, but death - no..."

"... Light - on a thin neck -
Dandelion on a stem!
I still do not understand at all,
That my child is in the earth.

“... And I will lie down quietly, close my eyelashes,
I will close my eyelashes.
And I will lie down quietly, and I will dream
Trees and birds.”

“...I am leaving for the Absolute White - forever...”

“...and in my chest is a cage
and instead of a heart
it beats its wings breaking
this poor bird”

“...in a strange place where shadows meet again
after a long journey after a life of hate
I will ask one thing from the good God -
so that the poor bird will forgive me. .."

"...no one can keep up with you
behind the lone star running
into the distance."

“...But they entered the mist and did not come back.
Try, try to catch up with them..."

"The shore will meet the hero
The shore will meet the enemy
There have always been two of us
And now it's just me."

"I'm trying to unlearn how to breathe
To give you at least for a minute
That gas that they didn't know how to appreciate
But you sleep and don't know.

"But the shadow fell on the string
And the string broke
And from the holy side
We got nothing
Except the last love
And the golden spot."

“We all lost something
in this crazy war.
...where are your wings,
that I liked?.."

"...and there was the whole empty world -
one orphan's house..." could forgive them
The fact that they do not have you
and they can live."

"...We will wait,
, until the end of time,
, and meet after the end. "

"For the beauty that is buried here
Timelessly, there is only one consolation:
Life has brought her mortal oblivion,
And now life has been returned by death."

"It is unlikely that death will tell you
Why in the world do you live."

"Our path on earth, alas, is determined
by two silent dates in granite."

"No longing, no love, no resentment,
Everything has faded, gone, gone...”

“After all, my end is not the end yet:
