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.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler

“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you’ll learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.”

“Grief can destroy you — or focus you. You can decide a relationship was all for nothing if it had to end in death, and you alone. OR you can realize that every moment of it had more meaning than you dared to recognize at the time, so much meaning it scared you, so you just lived, just took for granted the love and laughter of each day, and didn’t allow yourself to consider the sacredness of it. ”

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news.

It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

64 Quotes After Grief and Life After Loss Whats your Grief

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

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

~ Thomas Campbell

“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

“At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.”

~ Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Reimer

~ Terry Pratchett

~ Havelock Ellis

“God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.”

~ J.M. Barrie

“It’s so curious; One can resist tears and ‘behave’ very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer… and everything collapses. ”

~ Colette

“There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part, so just give me a happy middle and a very happy start.”

~ Shel Silverstein

Faceless and pale as china

The round sky goes on minding its business.

Your absence is inconspicuous,

Nobody can tell what I lack.”

~ Sylvia Plath, Parliament Hill Fields

“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. Something your hand touches some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you’re there. ”

~ Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“When we have joy we crave to share; We remember them.”

~ Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through.”

~ Billie Holiday, I’ll Be Seeing You

One more time

One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied

But then again

I know what it would do

Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you.”

~ Diamond Rio, One More Day

“You gave me a forever within the numbered days…”

~ John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

My longest relationship.

My only experience of maternal love.

My constant companon.

My best friend.

Duck.”

That’s why it takes courage to get out of bed in the morning and climb into the day.”

which is all but certain
then in the moment
before you will see me
become someone dead
in a transformation
as quick as a shooting star’s
I will cross over into you
and ask you to carry
not only your own memories
but mine too until you
too lie down and erase us
both together into oblivion.”

~ Galway Kinnell, Promissory Note

They’re cutting down trees

They’re putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on. ”

~ Joni Mitchell, River

Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,

Whispering ‘It will be happier’…”

Let's not look too far ahead, because then we will see the inevitable end, and looking at it is unbearable. We were apart and unhappy; now we are together and happy. Today and again today, isn't that enough? Enough! Our most difficult task is to protect our love from people. May they forgive us the happiness that we have created for ourselves, just as we forgive them the grief they have caused us.

The desert is our earthly, casual shelter.
Fate has counted our every hour here -
What she gives, she steals from us.
But the earth will tremble, and thunder will roll,
Cries and groans will rise all around,
And our hard work is interrupted in the desert.
We are again called to the abode of the mountains.
Someone new will reap the fruit of our labors,
He will reap, but he himself will go in his turn.
It's been like this ever since man lived,
And this law will never grow old.
Do not forget to take a good name with you -
It opens the way for us to immortality.
And if we lived in self-interest and evil -
Death will reveal everything that was hidden in the mist.

No agreements will help grief. Only death can cure it, and everything else only dulls and anesthetizes. They say that time also heals him. But if healing brings you something other than your death, then your grief is most likely not real. One of the means that dulls it temporarily, dulling all other feelings in you in general, is drunkenness. There is another thing that distracts from thoughts about him - and this is work.

Happiness leaves without looking back.
Anemone does not like to wait.

Sits at night by the bed,
And knits, knits until morning.

Why live if not to love?
