Mourners Quotes : pic 001124361
Silence accompanies the most significant expressions of happiness and unhappiness: those in love understand one another best when silent, while the most heated and impassioned speech at a graveside touches only outsiders, but seems cold and inconsequential to the widow and children of the deceased.

Funerals...are for the living.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001451573
To mourn is to wonder at the strangeness that grief is not written all over your face in bruised hieroglyphics. And it's also to feel, quite powerfully, that you're not allowed to descend into the deepest fathom of your grief - that to do so would be taboo somehow.

Mourners Quotes : pic 000453002
The perpetual mourner
the grief that can never be healed
is innocently enough felt to be wearisome by the rest of the world. And my sense of desolation increases. Each day seems a new beginning
a new acquaintance with grief.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000927399

Mourners Quotes : pic 001835012
How vulgar funerals must seem to the dead!
Mourners Quotes : pic 000428453
We always knew how to honor fallen soldiers. They were killed for our sake, they went out on our mission. But how are we to mourn a random man killed in a terrorist attack while sitting in a cafe? How do you mourn a housewife who got on a bus and never returned?

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Isn't a memorial service meant to comfort the living?

Our cheer goes back to them, the valiant dead! Laurels and roses on their graves to-day, lilies and laurels over them we lay, and violets o'er each unforgotten head.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000699073

Mourners Quotes : pic 001765229
The cemetery is full of indispensable people.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001667134

a shared affection for funerals
the way some people
love public holidays:

Mourners Quotes : pic 000842346
Mourning our losses is the first step away from resentment and toward gratitude. The tears of our grief can soften our hardened hearts and open us to the possibility to say thanks.

A good funeral gets the dead where they need to go and the living where they need to be.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000710823
To mourn, perhaps, is simply to prolong a posture of astonishment ...
Mourners Quotes : pic 000989252
We carry around the light of our loved ones who have passed. It is they who light the path for us.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000700075
I worry that friends will slowly become professional pallbearers, waiting for each death, of their lovers, friends and neighbors, and polishing their funeral speeches; perfecting their rituals of death rather than a relatively simple ritual of life such as screaming in the streets.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001697241
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001437870

Mourners Quotes : pic 001710946
We may forget our dead, but dead will never forget us. They call upon us from the border of unknown, reminding us of our solemn duties in fulfilling their hopes
Mourners Quotes : pic 000368683
Perhaps the mourners learn to look to the blue sky by day, and to the stars by night, and to think that the dead are there, and not in graves
Mourners Quotes : pic 000207647
I weep fer the livin. I weep fer the dead. I weep fer the yet to be born.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001806546
When somebody dies we usually need reasons for consolation, not so much to alleviate our pain as to excuse ourselves for so readily feeling consoled.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000884706
but the young dead stay with us, they color our dreams, they make us wonder about ourselves, that we should be so unlucky, or clumsy, or so downright ordinary as to carry on without them. Yet
Mourners Quotes : pic 001218400
The role of artists is to attend the funerals. They are the pall-bearers of failure, and every wonder they raise high in celebration harks back to a time already dead.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000539642
We reflect on what has been lost and comfort those enduring a profound grief. And somehow we know that a brighter morning will come.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000345705
The road of grief is often long and lonely and many stones need to be moved out of the way, but it is not without its lighter moments.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000417629
Proper mourning leaves one nothing to do but mourn, and I've concluded this isn't a good thing. Grief crowds in closely enough without the rest of life being shoved aside to make way for it.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000616094
Death is a solemn thing, and never so much so as when we see it close at hand. The grave is a chilling, heart-sickening place, and it is vain to pretend it has no terrors.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001733180
How we respond to grief can shape our present

My lonely eyes looked over the graves. I wept.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001222868
I mourned for a life that I'd lost.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001007558
A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001117309
SOME people are dieing to LIVE.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000225447
This crowd did not diminish through the whole of that cold, wet day; they seemed not to know what was to by their fate since their great benefactor was dead, and though strong and brave men wept when I met them.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000092273
To the solemn graves, near a lonely cemetery, my heart like a muffled drum is beating funeral marches.

Funeral by funeral, theory advances.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000349978
When our children die, we drop them into the unknown, shuddering with fear. We know that they go out from us, and we stand, and pity, and wonder.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001135600
None of the dead can rise up and answer our questions. But from all they have left behind, their imperishable and dissolving gear, we may perhaps hear voices, which are only now able to whisper, when everything else has become silent.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001550606
What is the difference between grief and mourning? Mourning has company.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001116935
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat; The soldier's last tattoo; No more on Life's parade shall meet; The brave and fallen few. On Fame's eternal camping-ground; Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round; The bivouac of the dead.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000911917
Accepting the loss of a loved one is difficult. But reconciling with the living is just as important.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000508201
The dead linger sometimes.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001592537
There is among the people a silent, long-suffering grief; it withdraws into itself and is silent.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000382035
We take care of those who are grieving, and when that's finished, they should know: We will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. Because hell is where they will reside. Hell is where they will reside,
Mourners Quotes : pic 001805313
My children, who don't know they play on a graveyard.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001261210
Anyone who is among us today, may be buried tomorrow.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000145908
Funeral expenses are the curse of the poor everywhere on earth, they are wasteful and unnecessary, they are the price of foolish ostentation and a display that is less an evidence of grief than a vulgar travesty of those pompous obsequies where no grief is.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001013310
Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you're burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001563340
If you live in a graveyard, you can't weep for everyone.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001385859

Mourners Quotes : pic 000410333
Their parents buried empty coffins
Mourners Quotes : pic 000789795
To mourn deeply for the death of another loosens from myself the petty desire for, and the animal adherence to life. We have gained the end of the philosopher, and view without shrinking the coffin and the pall.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000200121
Grief is fantastical, and loves the dead, And the apparel of the grave.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001596392
An everlasting funeral marches round your heart.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000604737
We honor the people we lost by loving again.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000948660
Sometimes we grieve the living more than the dead.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000121774
There is no more ridiculous custom than the one that makes you express sympathy once and for all on a given day to a person whose sorrow will endure as long as his life. Such grief, felt in such a way is always present, it is never too late to talk about it, never repetitious to mention it again.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000036553
How people die remains in the memory of those who live on

Mourners Quotes : pic 000136495

Mourners Quotes : pic 000789931
I have remembered Who wept for a parting between the living and the dead.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001211020
Funerals consist of older generations initiating the younger into another adulthood. Filling spaces of the one passed.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000073872
We mourn for the dead, but it's a selfish act. It may be a tragedy that so many young lives are lost to us, but it's our tragedy alone because they are at peace.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000383892
Mourning, the act of dealing with grief, required attention. Until now there had been every urgent reason to obliterate any attention that might otherwise have been paid, banish the thought, bring fresh adrenaline to bear on the crisis of the day.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000887360
Weeping for the dead's a waste of breath -
they're lucky, they can't die again.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000245427
Century and after century, headstones and grave markers were crafted, marble shrines to lost life and to bodies that could neither see nor touch nor think nor feel, bodies that were respected and appreciated more after death than some ever could have hoped to be in life.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000588234
Certain very old people reach an age where every funeral becomes some sort of insane confirmation of strength, rather than of vulnerability, as it is when we are in our thirties or forties and our friends die.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000613421
Juliana imagined her funeral: a formless crowd of people in a trivial location, chatting amongst themselves, saying things like, "Oh thank God. Finally.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000112082
The dead are orphans. No company but the silence like a moth's wing. An end to the agony of movement, to the long nightmare of going down the road. The body in peace, stillness, and order. The perfect darkness of death.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000090269
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
[Matt 5:4]
Mourners Quotes : pic 001834393
Grief is at once a public and a private experience. One's inner, inexpressible disruption cannot be fully realized in one's public persona.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001070950
I don't know what comes next. Mourners please omit flowers, probably, and for all of us. But I don't care.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000720038
Grief brims itself and flows away in tears.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000002834
Mourn not the dead that in the cool earth lie, but rather mourn the apathetic, throng the coward and the meek who see the world's great anguish and its wrong, and dare not speak.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001085843
Mourn for the living, the dead have got their camphor gardens.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000189450
I'm more interested in the meaning of funerals and the mourning that people do. It's not a retail experience. It's an existential one.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001687613
Grief ennobles the commonest people because it has its own essential grandeur. To shine with the luster of grief, a person need only be sincere.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001026646
Few people want witnesses to their pain, and grief is the worst pain of all.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000814424
When we get over something, we move on, we put it behind us. Do we leave the dead behind or do we take them with us? I think we take them with us. They accompany us. They remain with us, if in another form. We have to learn to live with them and their deaths.
Mourners Quotes : pic 000715401
I discover, too, that grief is different to different people. Comes in many guises. In shocked silences and closed doors around our village, as people try to shut it out. That a blank face or fleeting smile can hide the worst, most private kind of agony.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001341399
Each loved one went silently down;
bubbles bursting leaving behind
images they held
to stick on the glass of memory.
Mourners Quotes : pic 001417195
Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.
