How to Carry What Can't Be Fixed Quotes

“nightmares about your loss can make sleep something you’d rather avoid. Nightmares suck. And yet recurrent dreams, or dreams that have you delivering the news about death over and over, are actually a healthy and necessary part of grief.

“When you are consumed by your grief, when life has lost its meaning and its beauty, when going forward seems impossible: May there be light, even if it’s the tiniest blip in the dark. May there be comforting arms around you, friendly steps beside you, and empathic ears to hear you. May you know that you are never again alone, and that if nothing else, you have a family of people who understand. Though we may not really “know” each other, we understand, and we are here. We are here.”
