The best grief quotes provide something more than a pat on the back. Truly thoughtful words of comfort provide insight and encouragement to a downcast soul.
I’m a great believer in the wisdom of classical literature. For years I’ve scoured old books of quotations, grief resources, the Bible, and other resources for insight on grief, death, loss, and remembering those we love. More recently, I’ve begun the ancient practice of keeping a commonplace book to log all the great quotes I find.
All that has gone into this resource to create the ultimate list of powerful, meaningful, and uplifting grieving quotes.
Below, you’ll find the most popular, famous, and meaningful bereavement quotes. You’ll see a lot of those on other websites. But more than that, I’ve unearthed sayings from ancient sources you won’t find on other lists like this. I’ve even written a few of my own (thoughts both original and derivative of longer great quotes) to contribute.
Read on, and I think you can find rich benefit from this collection of wise and timeless words.
