It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.
Lemony Snicket
We never truly get over a loss, but we can move forward and evolve from it.

My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours

People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anaïs Nin
When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.
John Irving
Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.
Henry David Thoreau
I found myself thinking about President William McKinley, the third American president to be assassinated.

His soul sat up. It met me. Those kinds of souls always do – the best ones. The ones who rise up and say “I know who you are and I am ready. Not that I want to go, of course, but I will come.” Those souls are always light because more of them have been put out. More of them have already found their way to other places.
Markus Zusak
Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.
Arthur Schopenhauer
When you’re dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery.

Charlotte Brontë
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

Comforting Quotes About Death

One might get into a dilemma for the right words for comforting someone but as they go on to read the death quotes for loved ones, they will come across some of the best heartfelt sympathy quotes that will work impeccably well in this terrible situation.

Markus Zusak
We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.
Anyon Chekov
We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.

Come back. Even as a shadow, even as a dream.

Connie Willis
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?
Richard Dawkins
Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

Together, they would watch everything that was so carefully planned collapse, and they would smile at the beauty of destruction.
Markus Zusak
Death never makes sense to our minds. Just let it go.
Maxime Lagacé
If I die, I will wait for you, do you understand? No matter how long. I will watch from beyond to make sure you live every year you have to its fullest, and then we’ll have so much to talk about when I see you again… (Bones) Jeaniene Frost
Death commences too early – almost before you’re half-acquainted with life – you meet the other.
Tennessee Williams
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Marcus Aurelius

Buddha
The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains. Arthur Golden
The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?
Edgar Allan Poe
No truth can cure the sorrow we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see it through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning.
Haruki Murakami
Everyone dies eventually, whether they have power or not. That’s why you need to think about what you’ll accomplish while you’re alive.
Mary Macbeth
Books are finite, sexual encounters are finite, but the desire to read and to fuck is infinite; it surpasses our own deaths, our fears, our hopes for peace.
Roberto Bolano
Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which cannot exist when I do?
Epicurus
People pontificate, “Suicide is selfishness.” Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one’s audience with one’s mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it – suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what’s selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
David Mitchell
Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.
Jean de La Fontaine
He’d been wrong, there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and it was a flamethrower.

No one can say that death found in me a willing comrade, or that I went easily.
Cassandra Clare
