“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

Jamie Anderson’s words capture the essence of grief as an expression of love, emphasizing that the pain we feel after losing someone is tied to the love we still hold for them.
