Quotations regarding 'Bereavement'

4 entries

Bereavement is the sharpest challenge to our trust in God; if faith can overcome this, there is no mountain which it cannot remove.

Dean Inge, English Author (1860-1954)

Bereavement is the deepest initiation into the mysteries of human life, an initiation more searching and profound than even happy love.

Dean Inge, English Author (1860-1954)

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.

Henri Nouwen, Dutch Clergyman (1932-1996)

Never does one feel oneself so utterly helpless as in trying to speak comfort for great bereavement. I will not try it. Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother.

Jules Renard, French Dramatist (1864-1910)
