Sorrow is an inextricable part of life. Whoever lives experiences it. There's no escape. If we understand this then we would stop bewailing every misfortune that occurs. Life is a bargain. You want joy but you can't have it without suffering. You must accept the whole package.

The Ancient Sage

But grief still has to be worked through. It is like walking through water. Sometimes there are little waves lapping about my feet. Sometimes there is an enormous breaker that knocks me down. Sometimes there is a sudden and fierce squall. But I know that many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.

Madeleine L'Engle

Someday you're gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving. You'll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing.
