Quotes from the episode: 

“Its only pain. You’re not being injured, you’re just going through pain. It won’t kill you.” -Samuel

“As you’re going through suffering you’re becoming stronger.” -Samuel

“I made friends with my grief and began to build a relationship with it.” -Victoria

“I don’t think grief ever stops but It gets more manageable.” -Samuel

“Grief is there to protect you and keep you sane. Befriending your grief allows you to ride the different waves of it.”  -Samuel

“Moving on from grief shouldn’t be the goal.” -Samuel

“When you befriend your grief it allows you to welcome others into it with you. When you suppress it, you end up isolating yourself from others.” -Victoria

“If you hate your grief then every time it comes around, you abandon yourself and feel abandoned by others in it. If I don’t know how to deal with it I can’t invite others into it.” -Victoria

“Anger is a healthy part of grief. You have to let that out.” -Victoria

“You don’t have to compare your pain to others in order to validate them. Just let other people feel sad.” -Victoria 

“Let your grief evolve and take another form rather than trying to get rid of it.” -Victoria 

“Our societal demonization of pain has lead us into an addiction to the comforts of complacency.”  -Samuel

“Its normal to wake up sad sometimes. Its not inherently bad and doesn’t mean you’re broken. ”     -Samuel
