12 Grief Quotes – Navigating My Grief Through Words

In this post you will find 12 grief quotes written by others. Many of the words in these quotes I have been able to relate to and it makes me realise I am not the only one with these thoughts and feelings. I feel so grateful to others for sharing. This is something which I promised myself that I would do when I was in the delivery room with Poppy. Deep down I never wanted anyone to feel that they were alone whilst facing the raw reality of losing their baby. 

All content is my own thoughts, feelings, beliefs and experience from my own journey of baby loss. This post may contain affiliate links, please see the Copyright and Disclosures page for more information.

I have always used writing to express my own feelings, even from a young age. By using a pen I find that I am able to reveal thought and emotions that sometimes I didn’t even know were there. These thoughts and emotions will be lurking there, making me irritable and on edge and it is not until I begin to write that I realise what they are.

Since losing our daughter Poppy, I have also used others words. From books, to social media, to quotes found on Pinterest. The journey and emotions of baby loss are so incredibly complicated and interwoven. I therefore find it very hard to make sense or understand what I am feeling. By reading others words on their own journeys, it helps me to make a little sense of what is happening inside my own head.

12 Grief Quotes…
Grief quotes: Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself.

Grief quotes: There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone the light remains.
