3 QUOTES WITH «BEREAVED»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word bereaved.

Meghan O'Rourke
But there is a discomfort that surrounds grief. It makes even the most well-intentioned people unsure of what to say. And so many of the freshly bereaved end up feeling even more alone.
2
Meghan O'Rourke
Television has never known what to do with grief, which resists narrative: the dramas of grief are largely internal - for the bereaved, it is a chaotic, intense, episodic period, but the chaos is by and large subterranean, and easily appears static to the friendly onlooker who has absorbed the fact of loss and moved on.
3
Peter Ustinov
Laughter would be bereaved if snobbery died.
