More on Grief
“He did not dare to console her, knowing that it would have been like consoling a tiger run thru by a spear.”
“A little time, and thou shalt close thy eyes; and him who has attended thee to thy grave, another soon will lament.”
“I know you loved her, but it's okay to let it go now. You know that, don't you? You've got to be able to let it go.”
More on Loss
“He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.”
“Every victory accomplished with weapons is a funeral that should be mourned.”
“I am lost without you. I am soulless, a drifter without a home, a solitary bird in a flight to nowhere. I am all these things, and I am nothing at all. This, my darling, is my life without you. I long for you to show me how to live again.”
