“Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.” – Brigitte Nicole
“Deep understanding, compassion and caring arises from intense loss, sorrow and grieving.” ~ Sue Rosenbloom
“You can not die of grief, though it feels as if you can. A heart does not actually break, though sometimes your chest aches as if it is breaking. Grief dims with time. It is the way of things. There comes a day when you will smile again, and you will feel like a traitor. How dare I feel happy. How dare I be glad in a world where my father is no more. And then you cry fresh tears, because you do miss him as much as you once did, and giving up your grief is another kind of death.” – Laurell K Hamilton
