Grief Quote by Robin L. Smith
““We needn’t feel forced or pushed to move on before we’re ready. Letting go of the way we hoped things would be is not an easy or overnight task. We will need to be patient with ourselves and throw out any timetable we had for how or when the grief would be complete.””
