I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Grief

"There is an art to grieving.   To grieve well the loss of anyone or anything is a creative act.   It takes attention and patience and courage.   Grief is messy and painful.  But grief is also a tonic.   It is a healing elixer., made of tears that lubricate the heart.   Grief is a proof of our love, a demonstration of how deeply we have allowed another to touch us."  Elizabeth Lesser
