About this deal

After someone you love dies there is a time of transition. How long it can last is different for everyone and finding a new normal is a personal journey of self-discovery. Learning to fully comprehend my grief — the terrifying pain that accompanies it — and coming to a place of learning that grief is just love, has been transformative.

grief and loss affect your brain, and why it takes time How grief and loss affect your brain, and why it takes time

Grief isn’t something to get over. It is a response and process to deep emotional pain with many peaks and valleys. Finding gratitude is not easy, but if you open yourself up to starting with love it is possible. I have begun to see the gifts that grief can offer, even when it still hurts. I found gratitude to have had such a deep capacity to love my dad the way that I did while he was here, and I find gratitude that I can still love him after he is gone. Jamie Anderson wrote one of the best quotes about grief and love and how they intersect: “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

Jen McGuire, a news writer for Romper.com, beautifully covered the orange ribbon tribute: “All over the country this weekend, people will be dancing for Jaime. She’ll be present in auditoriums, in concert halls, in theaters, and dance studios. The memory of Jaime Guttenberg and the senseless violence that cut her life so terribly short will spread through the country, one orange ribbon at a time. It’s a lovely tribute, one her family might appreciate through the terrible fog of their own crippling grief. Wearing an orange ribbon for Jaime will keep her memory alive, even as her family plans her funeral. Because I guess that’s the cold, awful reality, isn’t it?”

Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering, because those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving…the pain of the leaving can tear us apart. Still, if we want to avoid the suffering of leaving, we will never experience the joy of loving. And love is stronger than fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking.” — Henri Nouwen Get this handwritten poetry print to keep on your walls or nightstand, or give it as a gift when you don't know what else to give. February 14, 2018, was supposed to be a day of love. Instead of a romantic dinner with my wife, the plan was to watch our wedding video with our fourteen-year-old daughter and sixteen year-old son as a way of showing them the beauty of Valentine’s Day. My daughter Jaime had come up with the idea. In 1969, psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross introduced what became known as the “five stages of grief.” These stages of grief were based on her studies of the feelings of patients facing terminal illness, but many people have generalized them to other types of negative life changes and losses, such as the death of a loved one or a break-up. The five stages of grief Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.” ― Mark TwainCan I see another’s woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another’s grief, and not seek for kind relief? – Sir William Blake If you’re here as a friend of the bereaved, we commend you. Read on to deepen your understanding of what your friend may be going through. We hope you find inspiration for what to say.

Grief Is Love — Marisa Renee Lee Grief Is Love — Marisa Renee Lee

So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered.” – John Green I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.” ― Rita Mae Brown You don’t go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.” ― Nigella Lawson It may continue to permeate long after our loved one has passed but, with time, strength, comfort, and compassion we can work through that loss, eventually meeting acceptance, and finally meeting hope. Hope for the future. When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship.” ― W. Scott Lineberry
