Grief Toolbox
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
