10 Inspirational Quotes To Overcome Death

On January 11, 2019, I have received the most devastating news ever: my cousin, Aneifok, suddenly departed this world. It felt like a bomb dropped on me and I couldn't help but to sympathize with the sadness I heard in my father's voice. Most of us have experienced a loss of a relative or friend.

Trust me, it is not a good feeling to be dressed in black multiple times through the year either. However, have you ever felt hopeful and celebrate the life of that person you loved?

Or, to stop and thank God that he or she is in a better, restful place? Though it may seem that you try to mask your sadness with a smile, you will gradually heal and feel better. Here are inspirational quotes to overcome your mourning.

1. "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends." -- Richard Bach

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
