More From Samuel Johnson

Grief causes you to leave yourself. you step outside your narrow little pelt. and you can’t feel grief unless you’ve had love before it - grief is the final outcome of love, because it’s love lost. […] it’s the cycle of love completed: to love, to lose, to feel grief, to leave, and then to love again. grief is the awareness that you will have to be alone, and there is nothing beyond that because being alone is the ultimate final destiny of each individual living creature. that’s what death is, the great loneliness.
Lost Love Loneliness Grief
I don't think grief of grief in a medical way at all. i think that i and many of my colleagues, are very concerned when grief becomes pathological, that there is no question that grief can trigger depression in vulnerable people and there is no question that depression can make grief worse.
Grief Thinking People
Grief is real because loss is real. each grief has its own imprint, as distinctive and as unique as the person we lost. the pain of loss is so intense, so heartbreaking, because in loving we deeply connect with another human being, and grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. we think we want to avoid the grief, but really it is the pain of the loss we want to avoid. grief is the healing process that ultimately brings us comfort in our pain. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.

Upon this subject, the habits of our whole species fall into three great classes--useful labour, useless labour and idleness. of these the first only is meritorious; and to it all the products of labour rightfully belong; but the two latter, while they exist, are heavy pensioners upon the first, robbing it of a large portion of it's just rights. the only remedy for this is to, as far as possible, drive useless labour and idleness out of existence.
Work Fall Class
All those years i fell for the great palace lie that grief should be gotten over as quickly as possible and as privately. but, what i've discovered is that the lifelong fear of grief keeps us in a barren, isolated place, and that only grieving can heal grief. the passage of time will lessen the acuteness, but time alone, without the direct experience of grief, will not heal it.
Lying Grief Grieving
It must be stressed that there is nothing insulting about looking at people as animals. we are animals, after all. homo sapiens is a species of primate, a biological phenomenon dominated by biological rules, like any other species. human nature is no more than one particular kind of animal nature. agreed, the human species is an extraordinary animal; but all other species are also extraordinary animals, each in their own way, and the scientific man-watcher can bring many fresh insights to the study of human affairs if he can retain this basic attitude of evolutionary humility.

People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.
Inspirational Positive Attitude
Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. resistance creates suffering. stress happens when your mind resists what is... the only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.
