When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread: / So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it. (Quote by - Bible)
Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. (Quote by - Rossiter Worthington Raymond)
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again. (Quote by - Maya Angelou)
He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man. (Quote by - Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
If we could know which of us, darling, would be the first to go, who would be first to breast the swelling tide and step alone upon the other side -- if we could know! (Quote by - Julia Harris May)
Good-night! good-night! as we so oft have said Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days That are no more, and shall no more return. Thou hast but taken up thy lamp and gone to bed; I stay a little longer, as one stays To cover up the embers that still burn. (Quote by - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Widows are divided into two classes -- the bereaved and relieved. (Quote by - Victor Robinson)
These are people who felt trapped in a bad marriage or onerous care-giving duties and widowhood offered relief and escape. The old paradigm would have seen this absence of grief as emotional inhibition or a form of denial, but in our view, these are people for whom bereavement serves as the end of a chronic source of stress. (Quote by - Deborah Carr)
The entire Muslim community has condemned the incident and expressed its sorrow for the bereaved families. (Quote by - Syed Ahmad Bukhari)
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. (Quote by - Carl Jung)
He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels. (Quote by - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
A man's house burns down. The smoking wreckage represents only a ruined home that was dear through years of use and pleasant associations. By and by, as the days and weeks go on, first he misses this, then that, then the other thing. And when he casts about for it he finds that it was in that house. Always it is an essential -- there was but one of its kind. It cannot be replaced. It was in that house. It is irrevocably lost. It will be years before the tale of lost essentials is complete, and not till then can he truly know the magnitude of his disaster. (Quote by - Mark Twain)
Bereavement is a darkness impenetrable to the imagination of the unbereaved. (Quote by - Iris Murdoch)
We have to believe that even the briefest of human connections can heal. Otherwise, life is unbearable. (Quote by - Agate Nesaule)
