“It's funny, how one can look back on a sorrow one thought one might well die of at the time, and know that one had not yet reckoned the tenth part of true grief.” - Jacqueline Carey

Decryption of quote

It's funny, how life has a way of putting things into perspective. We often find ourselves consumed by sorrow, thinking that we may never recover from the pain we are feeling in that moment.

But as time passes and we reflect on those difficult times, we realize that what we thought was unbearable grief was only a fraction of what true sorrow feels like.

It's a humbling realization, to understand that we are capable of enduring so much more than we ever thought possible. It shows the strength and resilience that lies within each of us.

When we look back on past sorrows that once felt insurmountable, we can see how much we have grown and how much we have learned from those experiences.

It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of hope and a light at the end of the tunnel.

We may have thought we were at the brink of despair, but in reality, we had only scratched the surface of what true grief entails.

It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for healing and growth that exists within each of us.

So the next time we find ourselves in the midst of sorrow, let us remember that we are stronger than we think and that true grief is a depth we have yet to fully comprehend.

It's a journey of self-discovery and inner strength, a reminder that we are capable of overcoming even the most challenging of circumstances.

Let us embrace the lessons that sorrow teaches us and trust in our ability to navigate through the darkest of times, knowing that we have the strength to endure and the resilience to rise above.
