Grief and love are sisters, woven together from the beginning. Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not contain loss and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry for what we once held close.”
Francis Weller, from The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief
