Grief and Loss Quotes.

The page of grief and loss quotes is offered as words of comfort. When we suffer grief and loss it can sometimes take the most simple of things to help us to look upon our grief in a different light.

I have included some of my favourite grief and loss quotes here and you can find more links to grief and loss quotes at the bottom of this page and in our links pages.

The social flow of pleasure's tide:
He never made a brow look dark,
Nor caused a tear, but when he died.
Thomas Love Peacock

It is the will of God and Nature that these mortal bodies be laid aside, when the soul is to enter into real life; 'tis rather an embrio state, a preparation for living; a man is not completely born until he be dead:  Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals?
Benjamin Franklin, 22 February 1756

____________________

With what a deep devotedness of woe
I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again
Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain,
And memory, like a drop that, night and day,
Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
Thomas Moore

____________________

And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
John Henry Newman

____________________

Good-night! good-night! as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken up thy lamp and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
Author Unknown

When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav'n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
