Grief is one of the things we all have in common, it’s something that will affect us all at one point in our lives, and it is one of the most challenging things we will face. Everybody goes through the stages of grief in their own way and at their own pace. It’s an entirely unique experience, and you can never tell someone how to feel or deal with it. Sometimes, words of encouragement can help, though. It’s comforting to know that others have been in the same situation as you before. Here are some powerful and moving quotes to help you deal with grief and loss.

“Perhaps they are not the stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.”
“Be the things you loved most about the people who are gone.”
