Grief is the price we pay for love. - Queen Elizabeth II
Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life. - Anne Roiphe
Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind. - Marcel Proust
Nothing remains constant in this world. In our life there comes a time when we feel the loss of someone of close to our heart, it creates an emptiness - a dark side of life, an incompleteness - a sudden pause in a crowded moment.
In those moments a bright sunny day or even a free moment seems empty to you.
Everything that we feel in those moments seems sad to us, all those questions and feeling comes in front of your eyes. All those memories and attachments, in fact, we suffer because we

In fact, those moments which seem reasonable to you might make a huge impact in the future.
You never know what time holds for you, in fact, the time is like a river – it never stops for anyone. No matter who you’re - where ever you come from - nor it matters your opinion, it flows on.
If you’re surfing from grief and sadness, know that you are missing another moment from your life. You never know what good for you and what's bad. You can only be able to live at the moment, create and work at this time – make this moment awesome for your whole life.
If you’re sad for someone - know that love doesn’t mean sadness – love means happiness. If you love someone, let them be free, better to see your loved ones free from your grief and sadness. We love someone because we want to see them happy. Do you think that your grief will make your loved ones happy?
In fact, our life thrives in two ways, one that is the illusion and other that is divine, and love is divine; all the other things are illusions. We take part in illusion to support our divine. In the other way around, we find our nectar in love; and then love becomes our support system in this chaotic
Love is what makes all the suffering worth it, because that is shared. Life finds meaning if there is someone to share it

Arrested development works in more than one fashion for Holden Caulfield, as not only does he desperately cling to the past, but his five stages of grief are similarly slowly processed—namely denial. J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye follows Holden as he adapts to life alone in the city, and is forced to deal with the consequences of living in the real world. After projecting his issues onto others throughout the novel, only by accepting his own shortcomings does Holden finally start taking steps towards changing his life for the better. Holden’s little brother, Allie, passed away some years before the story takes place, and is one of the biggest factors in his refusal to let go of the past.
There are multiple stages of grief and healing. The stages have no order, so one person may not be at the same stage as another when dealing with the same situation. The same thing applies to the stages of healing. In the novel “Ordinary People” by Judith Guest, the Jarrett family, Conrad, Calvin, and Beth are all in different stages of grief due to the loss of Buck and other reasons varying from character to character. The two main characters Conrad and Calvin move from stages of grief to stages of healing by recognizing why their grieving.
“Death is not the greatest lost in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." -Norman Cousins. Emotional death can cause someone to not notice something that are happening around them due to them being around it so much. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel and his father are deported and relocated to different concentration camps.
Anticipatory grief is the form of grief that occurs when there is an opportunity to anticipate the death of a loved one (or oneself). It is different from unanticipated grief in the amount of time to "look forward" to death and in its form. It may be affected by such things as the duration and pattern of the illness, by concurrent stresses (financial, social, physical, emotional, developmental, etc.) , periods of uncertainty and (sometimes dreaded) certainty, interactions with sometimes incomprehensible medical personnel, varying support from others. Anticipatory grief involves life from the past, present and that of the future for both the patient and their loved ones.
Many people everyday write down their feelings to deal with depression. One character who embodies this is Holden Caulfield from the novel, Catcher in the Rye, written by J.D. Salinger. Salinger journals Holden’s life after experiencing the loss of his brother, Allie. This coping mechanism of writing down one’s feelings in order to deal with loss mirrors that of the artist Iyaz. After losing his lover, he wrote a song, titled “Solo”, which helps him to express his emotions and longing toward her.
One of the most Interesting thing that Dr. Martin Luther King believed that in order to completely eliminate racism, religious discrimination, and any other type of hatred for being different, we would need to first embrace the things that made everyone different Beloved Community" raises a very interesting objection to the notion of the concept of the "beloved community" as expressed by Dr. Martin Luther King. The reason I choose is this because Dr. King mentioned that In speaking about the possibility of actualizing the Beloved community in history, King attempted to avoid what he called a superficial optimism" upon the on hand, and a crippling pessimism" on the other. He knew that the solution of social problems is a slow process. At the
Among the personal conditions of human suffering it cannot be cancelled, but only accepted and coped with. (Diehl 36) This source is basically saying that a person cannot just forget about something that pains them, but they can learn how to cope and deal with the issue at hand. Every person copes with their pain and suffering differently, like Sonny in the beginning uses drugs as a coping method and then shortly after he is released from jail he uses music as his method of coping. However, the goal in life is essentially death, but because death is so uncertain and everyone fears it we find ways to escape that feeling by using various ways.
Later, however, they also find a way to bring order and bring balance to the love. In the real world, love can just as easily be changed by order and chaos. But without chaos or order being involved in love, then love cannot last. Chaos and order, only together, can help preserve love in the
Time is one of the most basic elements of life: Humans live in the present, dwell in the past, and fear the future. Life is just a constant and consistent march towards the end, an end that is forever unknown. Time, though, for all it dictates, is nothing more than a human construct. The idea that everything exists in a neat line and that all events happen from start to finish is nothing more than a common figment of imagination. One may argue that this linear idea is the foundational problem with humanity.
LOSS, GRIEF AND HEALING As human beings, we suffer losses of many kinds and sizes in our life time. While some of these losses are small and do not hurt much, some are big and hurt deeply. Those that are accompanied by pains that are difficult to bear include the loss of a loved one through death or divorce, cheating or unfaithfulness in a trusted relationship or loss of good health when a diagnosis of a terminal illness is made. In all these instances of loss, pain and grief are experienced and an emotional wound is created which needs healing.
What is Love? If you were to search it up you get the vague definition which reads: an intense feeling of deep affection. But it’s so much more, it has so many different meanings to people. Even wrong meanings that people associate it with. Love comes in many different forms, such as: friendship, family, and partnership.
Losing someone you love dearly is one of the hardest things anyone can go through. Sometimes it hurts so bad that you may yourself, “What’s the point of being here anymore?” I ask myself that question all the time, ever since my Grandmother passed away. April 22nd, 2016, was a very emotional experience for my family and me. The day started off like any other day for us.
Broken heart hurts your feeling. Nobody associates broken heart with happiness. Likewise, I felt terribly sad when I had my heart broken. I remember it felt so disastrous for me that I almost couldn 't do anything for one month. However, as time passed by, I began to think about what lesson I could learn from it.
