“Perhaps ...
To R.A.L.
Perhaps some day the sun will shine again,
And I shall see that still the skies are blue,
And feel one more I do not live in vain,
Although bereft of you.
Perhaps the golden meadows at my feet,
Will make the sunny hours of spring seem gay,
And I shall find the white May-blossoms sweet,
Though You have passed away.
Perhaps the summer woods will shimmer bright,
And crimson roses once again be fair,
And autumn harvest fields a rich delight,
Although You are not there.
But though kind Time may many joys renew,
There is one greatest joy I shall not know
Again, because my heart for loss of You
Was broken, long ago.”
― Testament of Youth

“A funeral is supposed to be a way to say goodbye. You look inside yourself and find a place to put your grief, not somewhere hidden, not the top shelf or the back of a cupboard, but maybe by a window, where it can catch the light.”

“You Still Live (Overcoming Grief Sonnet)
After your month long battle for breath,
Today I place you in nature's lap.
I know she'll care for you well,
like she once brought you to the world.
Fact of the matter is, you still live,
just in different form among the elements.
Nature's forces make us awake and restless,
Nature's forces coerce us into eternal rest.
There is no heaven, there is no hell,
these are concepts made by cowards.
Life is too sacred to be confined
by obsolete lies and superstitions.
Your light of affection shall continue
to shine bright in my memories.
You who was, nay, is like my second mother,
I won't say goodbye, for you still live.”

“Bereavement Sermon (The Sonnet)
You don't find a way out of grief,
You embrace it and it becomes your strength.
You don't find a way out of suffering,
You surf it and it endows you with courage.
Avoiding sorrow you won't find happiness,
Road to happiness goes through sorrow.
No matter how dark life seems tonight,
without heartwrecking darkness, we'll
never discover resilience, and grow.
Amidst the grief none of this makes sense,
I've felt it first hand this past month.
So I say, it's okay to be shattered to pieces,
but you must gather the pieces and soldier on,
for the sake of your living loved ones.
It's okay to not be okay, it means
your mind is trying to heal itself.
Persevering pain for those who live,
the sun will rise once again.”

“If there鈥檚 one thing I want to say to the person who finds this book in their own version of year one, or year three, or year twelve, it鈥檚 this:
You don鈥檛 have to be finished to be okay.
You don鈥檛 have to understand everything to keep going.
You don鈥檛 have to let go of the past to embrace what鈥檚 here.
You just have to keep coming as you are.
Again.
And again.
And again.
That鈥檚 the whole thing.
That鈥檚 the whole path.
And for today 鈥� just today 鈥� that鈥檚 enough.”

“Surviving something impossibly hard 鈥� supported by meaningful connection and our own inner strength 鈥� makes us more alive. More purpose-driven, more prioritized, more focused, more aware, more connected. More human. By bringing loss out of the shadows, we can change our lives for the better.”

“Grief is not an attractive part of life. No one wants to relive it or get a selfie of their grief experience. But suffering (going through) the grieving process made me the conqueror I am today.”

“Grief must be embraced. It reveals our truths and our weaknesses and our strengths. It is healthy and
important and should not be avoided. For when we do allow ourselves to sit with that most complex of
human emotions, we become wiser and perhaps even happier.”

“A liga莽茫o estreita entre a morte e a tristeza 茅 uma opini茫o ing锚nua. As l谩grimas dos vivos, em resposta 脿 sua chegada, t锚m um sentido nada oposto 脿 alegria. Longe de serem dolorosas, as l谩grimas s茫o a express茫o de uma consci锚ncia aguda da vida em comum captada na sua intimidade. 脡 certo que 茅 no momento em que a aus锚ncia segue repentinamente a presen莽a que essa consci锚ncia 茅 mais aguda, como na morte ou na simples separa莽茫o, e nesse caso, o consolo (no sentido profundo que os m铆sticos davam aos 芦consolos禄) est谩 amargamente ligado ao facto de n茫o poder durar, mas 茅 precisamente o desaparecimento da dura莽茫o, e com ela os comportamentos neutros que a acompanham, que destapa um fundo das coisas cujo ofuscamento cega (por outras palavras, 茅 evidente que a necessidade da dura莽茫o nos rouba a vida, e que s贸, em principio, a impossibilidade da dura莽茫o nos liberta). Noutros casos as l谩grimas respondem ao triunfo inesperado, 脿 sorte que nos faz exultar, mas sempre de modo insensato, muito al茅m da preocupa莽茫o com o tempo futuro.”

“It鈥檚 those subtle moments that make up the greatest grief and joy in life; the lingering in bed a little longer; the laughter with my friends when I should be training; the deep, aching grief I felt when our dog died; the painful vulnerability of loving deeply, of truly and honestly valuing a friendship over some arbitrary marker of success; the shame or guilt I feel when I know I messed up; the courage to admit it and try to repair it. All the things that remind me that I鈥檓 not a machine.”

“In other words, walking through the dark forest, you might eventually look up through the trees, see that the sky above is the same as the sky over the sunny pasture, that it is one canopy of light spread over your whole life鈥檚 landscape. Grief and joy are in the same life, but it鈥檚 only in the forest where you notice the shafts of sunlight spilling through.”

“The stability I had previously taken for granted was replaced by the pain that arrived when you learn that and you love is going to die. It was a deep sense of foreboding, a bodily knowledge of things to come that you would do just about anything to avoid.”

“My love grows wings,
A lost bird in an unfamiliar sky,
In my dreams your voice still rings,
But here the silence only seems to intensify”

“Sinto o calor de uma tarde de ver茫o
E um vento calmo mas persistente
Talvez leve com ele a minha solid茫o
Que em mim toca insistentemente
Estou triste, muito triste at茅
Mas n茫o quero largar este sentimento
As distra莽玫es prazerosas n茫o ajudam
A perceber o meu tormento
N茫o foi s贸 porque partiste que estou assim
Tamb茅m perdi o meu prop贸sito
O que 茅 que quero para mim?
Qual 茅 o meu caminho?
Ainda estou a descobri-lo
aos poucos, devagarinho.”
