Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.Rumi
When someone you care about is grieving, finding any words at all can feel impossible. The quotes below have carried that weight for centuries — Gibran on sorrow carving room for joy, Tolkien on tears, Tagore on seeing the stars again. Use them in a card or a message; sometimes a borrowed sentence says exactly what your own heart means.
