“You are allowed to have struggles. You are allowed to feel broken and too shattered to pick up the pieces. You are allowed to sit in the darkness for a while and not immediately barrel toward the light. You are allowed to not yet be able to see the light.

None of this makes you a burden.

Life is really hard sometimes. Everyone will struggle at one point or another. We all take turns helping to carry one another's burdens—this is how we survive.

It's OK to share your sadness, even if you're sad all the time. Even if your sadness makes others sad. Even if you're difficult to be around. Let others help you. You do not have to hold it alone.

You do not have to be your best self to be worthy of care. You do not have to apologize for being a human who takes up space.

You are hurting and imperfect and deserving of love.” ― Janine Kwoh

“In the long scheme of things," she says, "we are but temporary inhabitants of this world, dirt and ash, recycled stardust.” "But in death, we become memory," Damien says. "In grief, we're made permanent.” ― Brendan Shay Basham

“Grief has a way of sneaking into our lives uninvited, filling spaces we didn’t even know existed. But what happens when it arrives early, settling in before the loss itself even unfolds? In such situations, this refers to ANTICIPATORY GRIEF. Does grieving early lessen the sting when the final loss occurs? Or if it’s merely a futile attempt to prepare our hearts for something it can never truly be ready for. The begs the question, does anticipatory grief help us cope, or does it only deepen the wound?” ― Carson Anekeya

“Grief was something that moved in and stayed. Maybe it moved from one side of the room to the other, farther away from the window, but it was always there; a part of you that you couldn’t wish or pray or drink or exercise away.” ― Emma Straub

“Because grief is like that, shifting the context of all your memories. It sneaks up on you in the middle of a happy reconciliation, tinging everything, casting a shadow, robbing you of everything that used to be good.” ― Lindsay A. Franklin

“I miss her and I miss her and I miss her," she began. "And I wait for the feeling to end because every other feeling has ended, no matter how intense, no matter how hard - but this won't. There's just no end to the missing. There was life before and there's life now. And I can't seem to accept it. I can't accept that I'll have to miss her forever. There will never be relief. There will never be a reunion. And I wish I had a God. I wish I believed in an afterlife or something, anything. But when I try to talk to her in my head, there's no response. I can't hear her. And I can't feel her. All I have is this missing. And part of me is glad it won't end because it's all I have to connect me to her now.” ― Coco Mellors

“Grief cannot be fixed because it is not a problem to solve; it is a deep emotional response to loss. The idea of 'healing' from grief often feels inadequate because it suggests an end point, a time when the pain will disappear. But the truth is, we don't heal from grief in the traditional sense. Instead, we heal through grief. We allow ourselves to feel the waves of sorrow, to confront the emptiness, and to adapt to life without the person we have lost.” ― Carson Anekeya
