A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
停止所有的时钟,切断电话,用一根多汁的骨头防止狗叫,让钢琴安静下来,用低沉的鼓声抬出棺材,让哀悼者进来。
The pain is too much, the loss too great. There is no more before, and the after is too devastating. There isn’t enough of me left to go on. Grief has stolen too much of me now.
痛苦太大,损失太大。以前已经没有了,以后的打击太大了。我已经没有足够的精力继续下去了。悲伤已经占据了我太多的时间。
When remedies are past, the griefs are ended By seeing the worst which late on hopes depended. To mourn a mischief that is past and gone Is the next way to draw new mischief on.
当补救措施过去后,人们看到了最坏的情况,从而结束了痛苦。为过去和过去的灾难哀悼,将会导致新的灾难。

For anyone going through a divorce or any other painful challenge, the first and most important recommendation I can make is to find some kind of spiritual and emotional support.

It is like visiting one's funeral, like visiting loss in its purest and most monumental form, this wild darkness, which is not only unknown but which one cannot enter as oneself.
这就像去参加一个人的葬礼,以最纯粹、最不朽的形式去拜访失去的亲人,这狂野的黑暗,不仅是未知的,而且是一个人无法以自己的身份进入的黑暗。
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion.

Cancer has been unfortunately in my life. My mom's best friend is kicking ass in her battle with breast cancer. Both of my grandmas had cancer. I recently lost a friend to cancer.

It is one of the most saddening things in life that, try as we may, we can never be certain of making people happy, whereas we can almost always be certain of making them unhappy.

I am tired, beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little ink drops, and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon.
亲爱的,我累了,因为没有你,我的心烦躁不安;把它挤进小墨水滴里,然后贴上去。我在这里,在一轮明月的照耀下,独自烫伤。
