| The worst kind of grief is the grief you’re experiencing now. Don’t compare your grief with anyone else’s, and know that, at this moment, your loss is the worst thing that could happen to anyone. Acknowledge that your loss is worthy of grief, and accept that you must endure the very real feelings of sorrow. Grief is a normal and natural, though often deeply painful, response to loss. Everyone experiences loss and grief at some time. The more significant the loss, the more intense the grief is likely to be While the agonizing pain of loss diminishes in intensity over time, it’s never gone completely. It is absolutely normal to feel the aftershock of loss for the rest of your life. Grieving is like a deep wound that eventually heals and closes, but whose terrible scar remains with you forever. From time to time, it still causes pain. Death may have ended your loved one’s life, but it did not end your relationship. The bond you have will continue and endure throughout your lifetime, depending on how you take your memories and your past with you into the future |

| The pain of the heart is far worse than the pain of the body. For it only takes but a short time for the body to heal, the heart can take a lifetime. Angela Miranda |
