People talk about grief as if it's kind of an unremittingly awful thing, and it is. It is painful, but it's a very, very interesting sort of thing to go through, and it really helps you out. At the end of the day, it gets you through because you have to reform your relationship, and you have to figure out a way of getting to the future.

American Psychologist

Emmylou Harris

Animals have a much better attitude to life and death than we do. They know when their time has come. We are the ones that suffer when they pass, but it's a healing kind of grief that enables us to deal with other griefs that are not so easy to grab hold of.

American Musician

Helen Garner

It's very shocking, I think, for people caring for the dying to realise how unsaintly they feel, how much anger is mixed up with their grief. In fact, often I think the anger that they feel is a form of grief; it's a kind of raging against what's happening.

Australian Novelist

John Lydon

You have moments of grief in life, and if you can put pen to paper and capture that, that's something wonderful. I can revisit actual songs about past deaths, and I know that emotion is as true now as it was then.

English Musician

James Nachtwey

If you want to connect with people who are in distress and great grief and scared, you need to do it in a certain way. I move kind of slow. I talk kind of slow. I let them know that I respect them.

American Photographer

John Pearson

They which have no hope of a life to come, may extend their griefs for the loss of this, and equal the days of their mourning with the years of the life of man.

F. Sionil Jose

Poetry is emotion, passion, love, grief - everything that is human. It is not for zombies by zombies.

 the cognitive abilities that elephants have. They can feel grief and pain and loss and they have incredible memories. All of those things are part of the elephant brain and the more I learned about that, the more I realize this was the perfect metaphor for the book and that I had a profession for one of the main characters in the book.
