Quotes for coping with loss

64 Quotes After Grief and Life After Loss Whats your Grief

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.'”

too lie down and erase us
both together into oblivion.”

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.

Quotes about loss in life. Statuses about the bitterness and pain of losing a loved one

Love yourself for the benefit of others.

A woman dies, and Death comes to her. The woman, seeing Death, smiled and said she was ready.
- What are you ready for? Death asked.
- I'm ready for God to take me to Paradise! the woman replied.
- And why did you decide that God would take you to himself? Death asked.
- Well, how is it? I suffered so much that I deserved the peace and love of God, the woman replied.
- What exactly did you suffer from? Death asked.
- When I was little, my parents always punished me unfairly. They beat me, put me in a corner, yelled at me as if I had done something terrible. When I was in school, my classmates bullied me and also beat and humiliated me. When I got married, my husband drank all the time and cheated on me. My children exhausted my whole soul, and in the end they didn’t even come to my funeral. When I worked, my boss yelled at me all the time, delayed my salary, left me on weekends, and then fired me altogether without paying me. Neighbors gossiped about me behind my back, saying that I was a walking woman. And one day a robber attacked me and stole my bag and raped me.
- Well, what did you do good in your life? Death asked.
- I was always kind to everyone, went to church, prayed, took care of everyone, pulled everything on myself. I experienced so much pain from this world, like Christ, that I deserve Paradise...
- Well, well... - death answered - I understood you. There remains a small formality. Sign one contract and go straight to Paradise.
Death handed her a piece of paper with one sentence to tick. The woman looked at Death and, as if she had been doused with ice water, said that she could not put a tick under this sentence.
It was written on the piece of paper: "I forgive all my offenders and ask for forgiveness from all those whom I offended."
- Why can't you forgive them all and ask for forgiveness? Death asked.
- Because they did not deserve my forgiveness, because if I forgive them, it means nothing happened, it means they will not be held accountable for their deeds. And I have no one to ask for forgiveness ... I didn’t do anything bad to anyone!
- Are you sure about this? Death asked.
- Absolutely!
- How do you feel about those who have caused you so much pain? Death asked.
- I feel anger, anger, resentment! It is unfair that I should forget and erase from my memory the evil that people have done to me!
- What if you forgive them and stop having these feelings? Death asked.
The woman thought for a while and replied that there would be emptiness inside!
- You have always experienced this emptiness in your heart, and this emptiness has devalued you and your life, and the feelings that you experience give meaning to your life. Now tell me, why do you feel emptiness?
- Because all my life I thought that those whom I loved and those for whom I lived would appreciate me, and in the end they disappointed me. I gave my life to my husband, children, parents, friends, but they did not appreciate it and turned out to be ungrateful!
- Before God said goodbye to his son and let him go to earth, he uttered one last phrase to him, which was supposed to help him realize life in himself and himself in this life . ..
- Which one? the woman asked.
- THE WORLD STARTS WITH YOU..!
- What does that mean?
- So he did not understand what God told him about ... It's about the fact that for everything that happens in your life, only you are responsible! You choose to suffer or be happy! So explain to me who exactly caused you so much pain?
- It turns out I'm on my own ... - the woman answered in a trembling voice.
- So who can't you forgive?
- Yourself? The woman answered in a weeping voice.
- To forgive yourself is to admit your mistake! To forgive yourself is to accept your imperfection! Forgiving yourself means opening up to yourself! You hurt yourself and decided that the whole world is to blame for this, and they do not deserve your forgiveness ... And you want God to accept you with open arms?! Have you decided that God is like a soft-bodied stupid old man who will open doors for fools and evil sufferers?! Do you think he created the perfect place for people like you? That's when you create your own paradise, where first of all you, and then the rest, will feel good, then you will knock on the doors of the heavenly abode, but for now God has given me instructions to send you back to earth so that you learn how to create a world in which reigns love and care. And the one who cannot take care of himself lives in a deep delusion that he can take care of others. Do you know how God punishes a woman who considers herself an ideal mother?
- How? the woman asked.
- He sends her children, whose destinies break before her eyes...
- I understood... I couldn't make my husband loving and devoted. She failed to raise happy and successful children. I couldn't keep a hearth where there would be peace and harmony... Everyone in my world suffered...
- Why? Death asked.
- I wanted everyone to feel sorry for me and sympathize... But no one took pity on me... And I thought that God would definitely take pity on me and hug me!
- Remember that the most dangerous people on earth are those who want to arouse pity and compassion for themselves ... They are called "victims" ... Your greatest ignorance is that you think that God needs someone's sacrifice! He will never let into his abode one who knows nothing but pain and suffering, for this sacrifice will sow pain and suffering in his world. ..! Go back and learn to love and take care of yourself, and then those who live in your world. And to begin with, ask forgiveness for your ignorance and forgive yourself for it!
The woman closed her eyes and started her journey anew, but under a different name and with different parents

Pain, longing, anger, confusion...? All feelings seemed to be mixed up, turning into one lump that got stuck in the chest ...
The breath catches, and we do not understand what to do next, without this person? How to live when a part of you, your soul, heart is gone ... just empty, dead. How to fill the void that has swallowed us?
They say that time heals, that everything passes and is forgotten... But is that true?
Is it possible to cure a chronic disease with expensive drugs? No…
One can only heal… for a certain period…
This is what happens with feelings… with life…
We lose a close, dear person. Our hearts are bursting from pain. Our brains “explode” from thoughts… It seems to us that life no longer makes sense.
We seek solace wherever possible and each in our own way. We think that just about, a little more and time will cure everything. And then everything will be as before.
But it doesn't happen...
Time heals the wound, but does not heal...
Because, losing a loved one, we become vulnerable...morally and physically. We pretend that everything is fine, but inside of us "a hurricane is raging." I want to shout to the whole world about my pain, to tell everyone to make it easier.
We are angry at fate, asking: “Why???”… Why is fate so cruel to us today?… We experience unbearable longing, despair…. I want to fall asleep, soundly, soundly and, waking up, to see that everything is a dream. And we just dreamed it.... But, returning to reality, we understand that we have lost......
How to cope with this loss?
What needs to be done so that time becomes the best medicine after all. How to heal the wound so that you can live on without experiencing pain?
Perhaps we just don't want to accept this reality. Although we understand that we need to live on……
To live for the sake of life. To love, for the sake of love. A play on words... and how much sense.
Perhaps we need to stop being selfish with ourselves. Learn to accept reality as it is sent to us from above. It is very difficult, sometimes almost impossible. But, if you think about it, in fact, we are stronger than we think. We just don't want to understand it. There is strength in each of us - spiritual strength.
The force that makes us go further and not stop in the middle of the path, even if it seems that life is over. Think. What this strength should be in order not just to REMEMBER, but to live on, keeping in the soul, in the heart every moment spent with a loved one.
We have lost... It hurts... Life has separated us... Separated forever. But we stayed, here in this World... Why? After all, each of us asked ourselves this question, but did not find the answer to it.
Maybe I can answer this question, I don't know. ..
It seems to me that Life must go on, no matter how painful and hard it is...and if you stay here, you need to live! To live for the sake of close people, to live for the sake of the person who was lost. Live and Remember, keep every moment, every minute spent with him. Do something so that Memory does not become an empty word. Anything - write a book, dedicate beautiful lines, compose music, draw a picture, “discover” a new star, finally! Everything you would like to say to a person - say it ... Not with words, but with actions and deeds, in memory of this person.
And no matter how it hurts, live...
No need to regret. No need to cry. Just take a step forward... One small step towards life... Look around... Smile, even through tears.
I know it's very difficult... But still, try it... How I did it :)
After all, I don't even write these lines just like that... I dedicate them to my closest people whom I have lost. For them and for them! For the sake of memory. ...
But I don't forget that I have close people who need me today, people who help me move on. People worth living for, even if my heart sometimes breaks from longing... I live...
Because I have no right to be weak! Because I love...
Maybe everyone who reads my words will understand something for himself, decide something. Perhaps someone will disagree with me. But I will be happy if my words help someone. So everything I do is not in vain...
Life goes on... Never stop! Live, Love and Remember...
You are not alone... There are always people who need you... Let them into your life and into your heart...

Don't close... 9You left us so early ,
Raising my family
You didn't have much time
Weeping through your dream
After all, there are many things in the world
Life is difficult to overcome
To give one's life
But without a dad it is very difficult
It is difficult to create one's own life.

It is very difficult to let go of a person, especially if he was dear to you. You understand that you will have to live with the memories of him, but he himself will not be in your life. I must say that memories cause only pain if they are associated with the departed forever. You try not to think about him, not to remember, just so as not to hurt yourself, but then suddenly you catch yourself thinking that you are really ashamed of yourself. It seems to you that you are not abstracting from pain, but vilely forgetting the one you honestly valued.
At first, I tried not to think about my grandmother at all, because every moment that popped up in my mind doomed me to whole hours of suffering and powerless tears. I did not come to her house, living with my aunt, did not visit her grave for the first two years, did not look at her photographs and did not talk about her with anyone close to me. Over time, I really managed to dull the pain a little. I allowed myself to hang my grandmother's photo in my room, visited her grave a couple of times and even discussed my feelings with my aunt, reminiscing a little about my childhood that passed next to my grandmother. Years passed and I often visited my grandmother’s grave, looked after her, sat for hours at the gray mound, putting my hand into the damp earth and looked at the stone tombstone. From it her stony eyes looked at me, but they did not have the former brilliance. I understood this, but there was nothing I could do.

Lord don't take me, I ask for one more day,
I'm like a shadow in this world without her.
I don't want warmth and life without it,
I can't and don't want anything.

Her last breath and tender eyes,
I will remember this moment forever.
I suffocate at night and hit again,
That moment has now become for me, a nightmare.

With tears in my eyes, I hugged her
From hellish pain, I then shouted to You:
Why did You take my love from me?
I closed my eyes and saw her off into the night...

And loneliness closed my eyes,
My soul is torn now, Love is dead.
At the edge of the abyss, I shouted into the sky:
Now I'm dead forever! I have become a shadow!

with love
I write you letters from tears.

I forgot that there are sunrises,
I forgot what sunset is...
You are not there, you are somewhere in the sky
My life is like a steep waterfall…

Your death has taken my soul
My heart burned out a long time ago.
Like winter took my summer away,
So I was covered with snow.
I have aged a century, in a week
Death has taken you from me.

I write to you again and again,
About myself and about our love.
I write letters to you, but I know
that you will never read them...

Last handful of land,
I hold my native,
Last mountains of land ,
I'll leave, standing at the edge...

Everything was covered with earth,
Love, dreams and hopes. .
Left alone with you,
There will be no life like before... ,
Pieces of my soul,
Quietly fly in the cemetery.

I look into the distance, into the darkness
And tears burn me.
I'm lying next to you,
Embracing your grave...

You came to me with summer rain,
These drops are unthinkable.
I only regret that
That I could not be sincere with me.

I let you go to "nowhere",
Keeping the joy of dating in my heart,
The bitter word "forever"
And broken expectations…

Be courageous and calm, because all human aspirations are not significant from the point of view of eternity. There is no memory and pain in the oblivion of the grave.
Aurelius Mark Antoninus

In essence, it doesn't matter what you die for; but if you die for something you love, then such a warm, devoted death is better than a cold, unfaithful life.

In this life, dying is not new,
But living, of course, is not new.

This body is worn out, a nest of diseases, mortal. This putrid heap decays, for life has an end - death.

You should not mourn the dead, but the one who is born for a hard struggle with the hardships of life.
Euripides

The equanimity that those condemned to death sometimes show, as well as the contempt for death, speaks only of the fear of looking straight into her eyes; therefore, it can be said that both are to their minds what a blindfold is to their eyes.
La Rochefoucauld François de

Few people can understand what death is; in most cases it is done not out of a deliberate intention, but out of stupidity and according to an established custom, and people most often die because they cannot resist death.
La Rochefoucauld François de

Neither the sun nor death should be stared at.
La Rochefoucauld Francois de

No one knows what death is and whether it is the greatest good for man. And, however, everyone fears her, as if in the consciousness that she is the greatest evil.

From black dust to heavenly bodies
I saw the secrets of the wisest words and deeds.
I avoided deceit, I unraveled all the knots,
I could not unravel the knot of death.
Avicenna

The memory that I will soon die is the most important tool that helps me make difficult decisions in my life. Because everything else - other people's opinions, all this pride, all this fear of embarrassment or failure - all these things fall in the face of death, leaving only what is really important. The memory of death is the best way to avoid thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. You no longer have a reason not to follow your heart.
Steve Jobs

The first sign of the beginning of knowledge is the desire to die. This life seems unbearable, the other unattainable. You are no longer ashamed that you want to die; asking to be transferred from the old cell that you hate to the new one that you are only just beginning to hate. It also affects the rest of the faith that during the journey the chief accidentally passes along the corridor, looks at the prisoner and says: “Don’t lock this one up anymore. I'm taking him with me."
Franz Kafka

Since we do not know what death is, it is illogical to be afraid of it.
Socrates

The path to the underworld is the same from everywhere.

The best thing for a person is not to be born at all, and after that the best thing is to die as soon as possible.

Death smiles in our faces, we just have to smile back at her.
: Aurelius Mark Antoninus

Death has nothing to do with us - when we exist, it does not exist, when it exists, we no longer exist.
Aurelius Mark Antoninus

Death is in front of us - something like a picture on the classroom wall depicting the battle of Alexander the Great. The whole point is to overshadow the picture with your deeds in this life or completely extinguish it.
Franz Kafka

Death is terrible, but even more terrible would be the realization that you will live forever and never die.
Chekhov Anton Pavlovich

Death is probably the best invention of Life. She is the cause of change. She purifies the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs

Old age is just disgusting. I believe that this is the ignorance of God when he allows you to live to old age. Lord, everyone is already gone, but I still live. Birman - and she died, and I did not expect this from her. It’s scary when you’re eighteen inside, when you admire beautiful music, poetry, painting, and it’s time for you, you haven’t done anything, but you’re just starting to live!
Ranevskaya Faina Georgievna

He lies who claims that he is not afraid of death. Every man fears to die; it is the great law of sentient beings, without which all mortal beings would soon be annihilated.
Rousseau Jean-Jacques

Knowing the truth in the morning, one can die in the evening.

About life

“Consider the wisest of people who does not forget about God. And he understands that his death is near. And he does not remember the good that he did to people, and the evil that they did him.”

- Abu Hamid al-Ghazali Islamic theologian, jurist, philosopher and mystic 1058 - 1111

About men, about God, about evil ,
Who cannot find harmony in himself. The one who
dies slowly, who destroys his faith in himself,
who does not allow himself to be helped. Slowly the one who destroys love itself dies
And lives his days with constant complaints
About bad luck or incessant rain. The one who abandons his plans dies slowly,
Before even starting them,
Who does not ask questions about arguments unknown to him,
And who does not answer when asked about what he knows. The one who becomes a slave of habit dies slowly,
Following the same route every day,
Who does not change direction,
Who does not risk changing the colors of clothes,
Who does not talk to strangers. The one who avoids passions
dies slowly,
A yawn can be replaced by a smile.
Who prefers black on white and dots over the letter "i",
Instead of being together with emotions,
Exactly those that make eyes radiant,
Which can make the heart beat
Both from error and from feelings. The one who does not turn the tables dies slowly,
The one who does not beat off the blows of fate,
when he is unhappy in work or in love,
the one who does not risk what is,
for the sake of the unknown, what can be if you go
after a dream,
who does not allow himself, at least once in his life,
to run away from prudent advice . .. Let's try to avoid death in small doses,
Always remembering to be alive
Requires a lot of long effort
Simple action to breathe. Live today!
Take a chance today!
Do it today!
Don't you dare die slowly!
DO NOT FORBIDDEN YOURSELF TO BE HAPPY!“

— Pablo Neruda Chilean poet 1904 - 1973

Leave your dusty, musty nooks and crannies - go out into the godless world, breathe deeply. The motherland is waiting for you - hopelessly young, desperate and recalcitrant. Demand and achieve the impossible! Step on the throat of your melancholy, apathy, laziness. Execute your fear. Act in such a way that Death flees from you in horror. The world is holding on - still holding on! - on each of us - alive and invincible. And even though there are few of us - there have always been few of us - but it is we who have moved and are moving history, we are driving it forward in a shining spiral. Where there was no time, there is not and will not be. In eternity. So don't dishonor yourself and your future. Get up!”

The sun's rays pressed so hard on my brain that I almost fainted. The carriage rushing in the distance shook my body and suddenly I saw a flash that looked like a small sun.

I’m shaking from every kiss, as if my lips are bare wires, and I’d like to drink my spirited tea, pray silently every evening, they twisted me, lived, crumpled in my palms and then accidentally pulled out a pin, for this even at school an athlete would be released for a year from his physicist, he chews me in the arms of temperature, turns blue, twists me sobbing, a wave buzzes, overflows, and there is longing in my eyes, a continuous groan inside, but I can’t: April - I have work and a term paper on the fifteenth on the table.
I play my no-win matches, dictating my polished epilogue, so that a beautiful boy comes from Moscow and pokes his nose into my burned forehead. And at home the smell of smoke and the taste of vanilla, and the house is small and dirty, like myself, but they didn’t write to me, didn’t call, didn’t open the secret bins. I drag myself along the avenues - as if naked, but I don’t want to take any of me - and the city tenaciously holds a claw by the throat, look like it will suffocate in a little bit, I will come in the evening, drink, get into the bath, like thousands of people like me, girls, and what immediately killed you here is not even enough to surprise.
And this is not love - but even more abruptly, everything that hits backhand, from afar. These clouds are so blue, these clouds are too white.
Guys, my foothold is burned to the blade of grass, dug trenches half a soul. Guys, how I hate you all, all those who know how to make me laugh. You completely tightened your belt on me, rubbed the ossified red, and after that - everything, free, a train ticket, and go to your St. Petersburg. And it's spring.
But they gave me a take-away dry ration in a large bag, now it seems like everything in the world, I would calm it down, what appeared, at least endure it, leave it in me until death. Yes, you are heroes - after all, it is not easy to break through this colossus - and according to the latest version, one hundred and sixty-four living growth, half a centner of almost lifeless weight. Yes, I'll be back someday, yes, probably again like this, in a minute, in a hurry, but you have glasses and are a little nervous, and your hair is specially made to inhale them.
And how did I learn to be embarrassed in front of you and laugh to the taste on my lips, how do you manage to fit in my head, no larger than a gigabyte? In my hands, in my smoky tight jeans, in my eyes, in the veins on my temples - how did you manage to sit so tightly and not let go for a moment? But life knocks and teaches in a completely different way - do not dare to consider that somewhere they are waiting, sad. How could you pinch me so much that I wake up in a dream at your place? After all, now I can’t do it any other way, wrapped myself in a shiny fiber. Such too long hauls, such a whistling wind through the window.
Leave and give away my drunken, earthly loneliness, my fetish. Or maybe I’m just whining a little to check if you’ll forgive me everything.”

The reason is that people do not set themselves the task: “Let's make the world a better place!”, But instead they fall on their knees and ask: “Lord, let us not know wars anymore. Let all people become brothers, and let our neighbors be peaceful and friendly. ” Well, it is YOU who should become peace-loving and friendly, and discourage war moods. This is what religion should do.”

“A person with sensitive digestion grabs for both, but with an excess of variety, food only irritates, not nourishes. So always read trusted authors, and even if you deviate from them, always go back. Every day take a little remedy for poverty, death, and other sorrows. And if you just covered several topics in a hurry, stop at one of them in order to comprehend and digest it during the day.”

About life

“Once a deaf man, having learned that his neighbor was seriously ill, decided that it was his sacred duty to visit the sick person. But immediately he hesitated, because he realized that because of his deafness he would not be able to hear the quiet speech of a weakened person. However, after thinking it over properly, he decided that he could get away with standard phrases. For example, if he asks the patient: “How do you feel?”, he will surely answer: “I feel a little better already,” and then I will have to say: “Well, thank God!” Then he will need to ask the question: "What do you eat?", - and whatever the neighbor's answer, you can say to him: "Let this food go for the future." It would also be decent to ask: "Who is treating you?" - and even without hearing an answer to this question, you can safely praise the doctor's skill.
Having prepared himself in this way, the deaf man went to his neighbor.
— How do you feel? - with these words, he entered the sick man's house.
— Oh friend, death is already calling me on the road, — the neighbor answered in a weak voice.
The deaf man, as he was going to, said:
- Well, and thank God!
The patient, hearing these words, thought with fear: “Only my fierce enemy can thank the Lord for my death!” Meanwhile, the deaf man continued to pose his prepared questions:
— What do you eat, brother?
- My food is not food, but just poison! the patient replied.
The deaf man did not hear his words and continued his conversation with a pre-prepared phrase:
— Well, God willing, this food will serve you well. The patient did not even have time to recover, having heard such a wish, when another question from the deaf man followed:
- And who is your doctor? he asked sympathetically.
“Probably the angel of death himself,” the patient answered with tears in his eyes.
And the deaf man, who did not hear this answer, was already continuing his conversation:
- Well, the art of this doctor is known to everyone, and he always brings everything he started to the end. I think that he will cope with your illness too!
Having said these words, the deaf man left with a sense of accomplishment. Meanwhile, his sick neighbor was talking to himself: “Who would have thought that my neighbor, with whom we have been living side by side for many years, harbored such evil against me. I, in my weakness, could not answer him, but I ask the Lord to punish him for his gloating, because rejoicing at the sight of someone else's pain is sacrilege, and the one who rejoices in someone else's suffering is the biggest sinner in the world.
Maybe among our deeds there are those that seem to us worthy of a reward, while a serious sin is hidden in them, and we don’t even know about it, like this deaf man, who made an already unfortunate sick person suffer with his stupid words .“

About life

“The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile, but that it is indifferent. But if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenge of living within the limits of death - no matter how much man expands these limits - our existence as a species can have meaning and genuine satisfaction.
