I knew they would kill me when they found out, butâŠâ He struggled for words, releasing a sharp breath. âI think I realized that I would rather die because I betrayed them, than live because I betrayed you.

Quote from Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie
Take any emotionâlove for a woman, or grief for a loved one, or what Iâm going through, fear and pain from a deadly illness. If you hold back on the emotionsâif you donât allow yourself to go all the way through themâyou can never get to being detached, youâre too busy being afraid. Youâre afraid of the pain, youâre afraid of the grief. Youâre afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. âBut by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, âAll right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a momentâ.

Quote from Stephen Richards
Grief helps you come to grips with the loss of a loved one. Guilt helps you make better moral decisions or bring you to apologise for a wrongdoing. In proper doses, these types of negative emotions are necessary and healthy.

Quote from Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
It is important not to suppress your feelings altogether when you are depressed. It is equally important to avoid terrible arguments or expressions of outrage. You should steer clear of emotionally damaging behavior. People forgive, but it is best not to stir things up to the point at which forgiveness is required. When you are depressed, you need the love of other people, and yet depression fosters actions that destroy that love. Depressed people often stick pins into their own life rafts. The conscious mind can intervene. One is not helpless.
