Fall down seven times, get up eight..

tisdag 7 juni 2011

The pain passes, but the beauty remains.

Grief can awaken us to new values and new and deeper appreciations. Grief can cause us to reprioritize things in our lives, to recognize what's really important and put it first. Grief can heighten our gratitude as we cease taking the gifts life bestows on us for granted. Grief can give us the wisdom of being with death. Grief can make death the companion on our left who guides us and gives us advice.

None of this growth makes the loss good and worthwhile, but it is the good that comes out of the bad.

- Roger Bertschausen


Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
The miracle of life..

-Maureen Hawkins


Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
