Is grief the price of love, or is it the proof that love was real?

A close friend of mine passed away in an accident. His wife is inconsolable, completely shattered by the loss. I don’t know what words can truly comfort her. All I can do is stay by her side and let her know she isn’t alone. Beyond that, I’m unsure what else I can do.

‘If two people are in love, there can be no happy end to it.’

Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon.

This can be death, when you mourn, but there can be other scenarios..
