No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the
stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing. At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a
sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says. Or perhaps, hard to want to take it in.
C. S. Lewis
If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

I will instruct my sorrows to be proud;
for grief is proud and makes his owner stoop.
To me and to the state of my great grief
let kings assemble; for my grief's so great
that no supporter but the huge firm earth
Can hold it up:
King John
William Shakespeare
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the
being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish
selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
George Bernard Shaw
Fear cannot be without some hope nor hope without some fear.
