"I shall not be deprived ... of a comfort in the worst event, if I retain a consciousness of having acted to the best of my judgment."

Previous Quote

Grief is real because loss is real. Each grief has its own imprint, as distinctive and as unique as the person we lost. The pain of loss is so intense, so heartbreaking, because in loving we deeply connect with another human being, and grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. We think we want to avoid the grief, but really it is the pain of the loss we want to avoid. Grief is the healing process that ultimately brings us comfort in our pain.

— Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
