You can't love your mother or father if you don't also have the capacity to grieve their deaths and, perhaps even more so, grieve parts of their lives.

About This Quote

The death of a loved one is a tragedy. It is something that can cause great pain and suffering not only to the person who has lost her or his friend, but also to those who are left behind. For many people, the death of a loved one brings up all sorts of emotions. These emotions are usually intense, even painful ones.

On the other hand, simply knowing someone has died is not always enough to feel anything at all. This is because many people simply do not have the capacity to grieve. This means that they do not have the capacity to feel any type of emotion for their loved one or anyone else who has passed away.
