While we come to understand from an early age that death is just a part of life, it doesn’t make losing a loved one any less painful. Death is hard. It is even harder when it comes unexpectedly. When we receive the news, we pray that it is just a bad dream we can wake up from. There are often no words to describe the amount of pain we’re in, and there are not enough hugs in the world to comfort us. It is normal during this time for people to wish for just one more moment with their loved one.

We must instead focus on the bright side of things. We must stop and think about how much we gained just by knowing and having loved that person. We cannot spend time focusing on the things we can’t control. We cannot control death. All we can do is making sure that the person’s memories live on through us and that we do what we can to make them proud. Below are 25 Quotes to Boost your Energy After a Painful Loss.
