<p>Take two deep breaths.<br />
-Clarissa Sorensen Unruh</p>
<p>None of the books that I researched on grief actually defined grief. It’s like they just assumed you knew what it was because it’s such a universal experience, but it’s not universally experienced by everybody in the same way.<br />
-Christy Albright</p>
<p>Anticipatory grief is when you know something is coming and you’re already grieving that situation.<br />
-Christy Albright</p>
<p>People assume that grief gets smaller, and actually we grow around it.<br />
-Clarissa Sorensen Unruh</p>
<p>The big griefs in my life stay forever.<br />
-Christy Albright</p>
