Grief Quotes October 24, 2023

"People touch our lives if only for a moment, And yet we're not the same from that moment on, The time is not important, The moment is forever." - Fern Bork

A healthy coping strategy for managing grief is to take things moment by moment. Feelings, thoughts, and moods can change quickly and often uncontrollably. “Grief bursts” can happen without any warnings.

As a griever, this is hard to handle and difficult to manage. It’s easy to worry about what could happen in the event that you’re in a social setting and the feelings come up… then what do you do? This constant worry can make everything overwhelming.

What’s beautiful about being in the moment, is it eases the worry. It also gives you the space to feel things through. And, as Fern Bork’s quote eloquently states, it allows you to capture moments as memories that can be immortalized and cherished.
