Grief Quotes October 10, 2023

“When grief is part of your story, it needs to be held to be healed. We cannot heal what has not been processed, and it takes time to move through the pain of loss and grief." - Brené Brown

I believe there’s no overcoming grief. Too many people I serve think it’s something they need to defeat, conquer, or overcome. What I’ve learned from these people is that way of viewing grief usually causes more pain.

What causes less pain is holding grief as something that’s now a part of you. Something that will sometimes sting, sometimes warm your heart, sometimes make you cry, and sometimes make you feel more alive.

Grief is complicated. And so are we as humans. Let’s hold these truths in our hearts and let that be part of our healing journeys.
