Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Louis LaGrand
"The possibility of life originating by accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a print shop." Albert Einstein
It is critical to remember that your past does not determine your future, unless you allow it to.
What we really do in the mourning process is to learn to start a new life, in effect build a new identity and way of living, without the physical presence of our loved ones.
We can always learn to love in separation. Don't settle for merely getting by, grow from the experience of loss.
