Grief Quote

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love.

It’s all the love you want to give,

but cannot. All of that unspent love

gathers up in the corners of your eyes,

the lump in your throat, and in

that hollow part of your chest.

Grief is just love with no place to go.”

~ Jamie Anderson

This quote reflects how closely love and grief are intertwined. While I don’t believe grief is only love with no place to go, I do believe love is at its heart. Grief can bring longing, shock, disorientation and deep sadness. There is no right way to grieve and no timeline to follow. Be gentle with your heart, remembering that grief is a reflection of the love you hold. It is a journey of love, and it deserves to be honored with tenderness.
