First Year of Grief Club Quotes

“Grief isn’t something you fix; it’s something you honour. There’s no flash sale, weekend retreat or quickly found solution. We often dream of a comeback from grieving, when the healthiest thing we can do is aim to come-through, by waking up every day and honouring our relationship with loss and how we feel in each moment that follows.”

“I personally define grief as the loss of anything meaningful (not only a physical death), and the human process and journey that follow it. I only have one guide post when it comes to the journey — honour it — all of it.
You may have noticed I spell honour the Canadian way. That’s intentional.
Although I’ve lived in the United States for most of my adult life, when it comes to this word, I truly believe that it’s more of an “our’’ thing than an “or” thing.”

“The (grief) arena is the return on investment of connection. And to connect is what makes us human beings in our simplest forms. If we want to be then we silently agree to one day grieve how we got to be, and with who, and when. It’s just the way it is.”
