We cannot experience free joy and happiness without experiencing the depths of pain.

...the sweetness of grace and freedom comes hand in hand with the uncomfortable, bitter-rawness of honest emotions and grief.

Sorrows cannot all be explained away in a life truly lived, grief and loss accumulate like possessions.

Why is love such a sorrowful thing, this I never could understand; passion and pain are linked together, ever I find them hand in hand.

Grief is times bailiff sent to evict you from your old life. Its black warrant demands of you hard labour. There can be no escape of reprieve. You must toil laying down the foundation stones of acceptance, stone by stone, until you have paved your way to your new life.

There is no REASON to keep SEASONAL people around for a LIFETIME.
