About This Quote
No one is exempt and everyone's pain has a different smell. When the pain of losing someone you love becomes unbearable, there are times where you feel as though you are the only one who has ever felt this way. But, the truth is, everyone has felt this way before. All through history people have lost someone they loved and endured this pain.
Some of them even wrote about their pain in literature which, in turn, might have helped other people to understand what they were going through. By writing about it, people were able to find comfort in knowing that they weren't alone.
