For each person I lost I found a new layer of grief to cover myself with, and each time I tried to bring something of their essence into my own being - be it unconditional love, kindness and piety.

My grief lies onward, and my joy behind.

Grief makes one hour ten.

To weep is to make less the depth of grief.

From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief - so how fear?

There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.
