Beautifully Sad

A friend on Facebook posted this sad yet beautiful quote recently and I couldn’t get it out of my head.  We have all suffered loss, or if we haven’t we will at some time.  The loss can be a death in the family, a breakup, or having to give up a pet.  In any circumstance of a loss, this quote embodies guidance, reassurance and hope:

“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
