“Grief is a solitary journey. No one but you

knows how great the hurt is. No one but

you can know the gaping hole left in your

life when someone you know has died.

And no one but you can mourn the silence

that was once filled with laughter and song.

It is the nature of love and of death to touch

every person in a totally unique way.

Comfort comes from knowing that people

have made the same journey. And solace

comes from understanding how others

have learned to sing again.”
