Grief

While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till grief be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.
- Johnson, Samuel

Johnson, Samuel

6.
The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.
Synge, J. M.

7.
Even his griefs are a joy long after to one that remembers all that he wrought and endured.

What's gone and what's past help Should be past grief.
William Shakespeare

Sophocles

13.
Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us...
Marden, Orison Swett

14.
Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates.
Johnson, Samuel

15.
When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to suffer the experience of total loss. It was more than that. It was the period in which we suffered more total losses than in all the rest of our life put together.
Berger, John

16.
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comet in the morning. [Psalms 30:5]
Bible

17.
The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.
Seneca

18.
In struggling against anguish one never produces serenity; the struggle against anguish only produces new forms of anguish.
Weil, Simone

19.
Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed, and rightly.
Seneca

20.
The human heart dares not stay away too long from that which hurt it most. There is a return journey to anguish that few of us are released from making.
Smith, Lillian

21.
Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart don't know how to laugh either.
Meir, Golda

22.
In private grief with careless scorn. In public seem to triumph and not to mourn.
Grannville

23.
There is immunity in reading, immunity in formal society, in office routine, in the company of old friends and in the giving of officious help to strangers, but there is no sanctuary in one bed from the memory of another. The past with its anguish will break through every defense-line of custom and habit; we must sleep and therefore we must dream.
Connolly, Cyril

24.
Time takes away the grief of men.
Erasmus, Desiderius

25.
In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.
Burroughs, William S.

26.
While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.
Samuel Johnson

27.
It seems the misfortune of one can plow a deeper furrow in the heart than the misfortune of millions.
Kirby Larson

28.
There is not grief that does not speak.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

29.
Grief is Newark. It's there. Can't avoid it. The idea is to hold your nose, hope the traffic's not too bad and get on to Manhattan as quickly as possible.
Eli Attie

30.
Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

31.
Who originated that most exquisite of inquisitions, the condolence system?
Phelps, Elizabeth Stuart

32.
No matter how deep and dark your pit, how dank your shroud, their heads are heroically unbloody and unbowed.
Nash, Ogden

33.
Pain hardens, and great pain hardens greatly, whatever the comforters say, and suffering does not ennoble, though it may occasionally lend a certain rigid dignity of manner to the suffering frame.
Byatt, Antonia S.

34.
I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

35.

She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.
Eliot, George

39.
The only cure for grief is action.
George Henry Lewes

40.
One often calms one's grief by recounting it.
Corneille, Pierre

41.
Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.
Percy, Walker

42.
Grief is only the memory of widowed affections.
Martineau, James

43.
But there are other things than dissipation that thicken the features. Tears, for example.
West, Rebecca

44.
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
Lewis, C. S.
