The five stages – denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance – are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost.

Instead of waking up every morning and shouting ‘God loves me, I have so much’, you start looking around and thinking ‘What I want now? What’s the next thing I need to be happy?’. So … you look and you look and you keep thinking you found it, but nothing works, and the reason that nothing … works, is because … that hole in your heart that you’re trying to fill is already filled … you just forgot.

Don’t … ever forget. Always remember how much you are loved, and stop, look and realize … that you already are happy. – My wider version of Lynette Scavo quote below

Your wedding is one of the best days of your life. Because it’s the day you realize ‘I finally have the thing I need to be happy’. And then you forget. So … then, what happens is, instead of waking up every morning and shouting ‘Somebody loves me’, you start looking around and thinking ‘What I want now? What’s the next thing I need to be happy?’. So … you look and you look and you keep thinking you found it, but nothing works, and the reason that nothing … works, is because … that hole in your heart that you’re trying to fill is already filled … you just forgot.

Don’t … ever forget. Always remember how much you wanted to be loved, and how much you are loved. And I think if you can do that, and it isn’t easy … you will stop looking and realize … you already are happy. – Lynette Scavo, Season 7, Desperate Housewives

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous
Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. – Marianne Williamson
