We make a living from what we get. We make a life from what we give. What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world is immortal.

GRIEF

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
~Rumi

Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.
~Alphonse de Lamartine

While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.
~Samuel Johnson

There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.
~Author Unknown

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.
~Jan Glidewell

We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
~Kenji Miyazawa
