To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.

Red Auerbach

Mindful grief means mourning and letting go of the past without expectation, fear, censure, blame, shame, control and so forth. Without such mindful grief, neither past nor person can be laid to rest.

David Richo

When the past dies, there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.

Gloria Steinem

In various talk th' instructive hours they past, Who gave the ball, or paid the visit last; One speaks the glory of the British queen, And one describes a charming Indian screen; A third interprets motions, looks, and eyes; At every word a reputation dies.

Alexander Pope

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Anais Nin

Grief has been compared to a hydra; for every one that dies, two are born.

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

What's gone, and what's past help, Should be past grief.

William Shakespeare

He who is completely sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, and dies in this state, is fit for glory.

Adam Clarke

I don't think grief of grief in a medical way at all. I think that I and many of my colleagues, are very concerned when grief becomes pathological, that there is no question that grief can trigger depression in vulnerable people and there is no question that depression can make grief worse.

Kay Redfield Jamison

Grief and memory go together. After someone dies, that's what you're left with. And the memories are so slippery yet so rich.

Mike Mills

We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does not make glory, and singing in the dark does not dispel fear.

Hussein of Jordan

For the glory born of Goodness Never dies, And its flag is not half-masted In the skies.

Bret Harte

Another misconception is that if we truly loved someone, we will never finish with our grief, as if continued sorrow is a testimonial to our love. But true love does not need grief to support its truth. Love can last in a healthy and meaningful way, once our grief is dispelled. We can honor our dead more by the quality of our continued living than by our constantly remembering the past.

Judy Tatelbaum

In his love for the world, the greedy is like the silkworm: the more it wraps in its cocoon, the less it has of escaping from it, until it dies of grief.

Muhammad al-Baqir

Being reminded of your past doesn't mean that you have to live with constant grief. It simply means that you have been given the opportunity to transform your past into something positive.
