You can not die of grief, though it feels as if you can. A heart does not actually break, though sometimes your chest aches as if it is breaking. Grief dims with time. It is the way of things. There comes a day when you smile again, and you feel like a traitor. How dare I feel happy. How dare I be glad in a world where my father is no more. And then you cry fresh tears, because you do not miss him as much as you once did, and giving up your grief is another kind of death. Laurell K. Hamilton
About This Quote

'You can not die of grief, though it feels as if you can.' When a person is suffering from the loss of a loved one, they often believe that they will die from the suffering. That suffering is what kills them. In fact, grief is just a part of life. It happens to everyone and it will happen again.

In time, people learn to live without their loved one and move on. They do not have to suffer from the loss of their loved one anymore because time heals all wounds. You may feel grief but you can not die from it.

Even when your chest aches as if it is breaking you still live on and keep going because you have lived through this painful experience before
