I’ve worked in the medical field for years as a nurse. I try to know the ins and outs of the health-care system, but nothing challenges a person as much as when his or her own family members become ill.

David Kessler Quotes

If I had my life to live over again, I would find you sooner so that I could love you longer.

After all my years working with the dying and the grieving, I have found that in this lifetime, the ultimate meaning we find is in everyone we have loved. Your loved one’s story is over. For unknown reasons, their time on earth has drawn to a close, but yours continues. I can only invite you to be curious about the rest of the story of your life.

Healing doesn’t mean the loss didn’t happen. It means that it no longer controls us.

When someone dies, the relationship doesn’t die with them.

Death ends a life, but not our relationship, our love, or our hope.

Life gives us pain. Our job is to experience it when it gets handed to us. Avoidance of loss has a cost.

You have to cry your own tears because no one can do it for you.

The will to save a life is not the power to stop a death.

People often say, “I don’t know how you’re doing it.” I tell them that I’m not. I’m not deciding to wake up in the morning. I just do. Then I put one foot in front of the other because there’s nothing else to do. Whether I like it or not, my life is continuing, and I have decided to be part of it.

You don’t have to experience grief, but you can only avoid it by avoiding love. Love and grief are inextricably intertwined.

Your loss is not a test, a lesson, something to handle, a gift, or a blessing. Loss is simply what happens to you in life. Meaning is what you make happen.

Each person’s grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn’t mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.

While death may look like a loss to the living, the last hours of a dying person may very well be filled with fullness rather than emptiness.

Death and dying Quotes

When it comes to food, we are, in essence, following an eating script that has been written into the circuits of our brains.

But like it or not, change happens and, like most things in life, doesn't really happen /to us/ - it just happens.
