MOURNING

The true way to mourn the dead is to take care of the living who belong to them.

Edmund Burke

Mourning which is according to God’s will is an anguished heart that passionately seeks what it thirsts for, and when it fails to attain it, pursues it diligently and follows behind it lamenting bitterly.

John Climacus

Silent sorrow is only the more fatal.

Racine
