Comforting Death Quotes To Live By

These death quotes and words of sympathy can offer some comfort and compassion to people who are grieving. If you know of someone who has lost a loved one, take a look through and find the words that you will be intuitively drawn to, then add them to a bereavement card. Or if it is you who is grieving, read through these words and know that your love for and from that special person will never die.

The description of dying I prefer is…
To make a Peaceful Transition into the Flow of Eternal Life.

This page contains the shorter quotes from known authors, there is also a page of Death Sayings for comforting words from unknown sources. There are also several other pages of longer words of consolation. For longer entries there are Sympathy Poems from known authors and Unknown Sources and my own Poems of Consolation.

Abraham-Hicks
The reason that you call it ‘grief’ is because you’ve been programmed to believe that you should feel bad about death.

A Course In Miracles

A Course In Miracles
Give truth its due, and it will give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your Father wills these dreams gone. Let truth correct them all.


No one can grieve nor fear nor think him sick unless these are the outcomes that he wants. And no one dies without his own consent. Nothing occurs but represents your wish and nothing is omitted that you choose.


The Holy Spirit guides you into life eternal, but you must relinquish your investment in death, or you will not see life, though it is all around you.


There is no death because what God created shares His Life. There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist.


Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the Light are merely covering their eyes. The Light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all.

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott  1832 – 1888

It is good to have a reminder of death before us, for it helps us to understand the impermanence of life on this Earth, and this understanding may aid us in preparing for our own death.

And loses itself in the sunset.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh  1926
I asked the leaf whether it was frightened because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling. The leaf told me, “No. During the whole spring and summer I was completely alive. I worked hard to help nourish the tree, and now much of me is in the tree. I am not limited by this form. I am also the whole tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. So I don’t worry at all. As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, ‘I will see you again very soon.’”  That day there was a wind blowing and, after a while, I saw the leaf leave the branch and float down to the soil, dancing joyfully, because as it floated it saw itself already there in the tree. It was so happy. I bowed my head, knowing that I have a lot to learn from the leaf because it is not afraid – it knew nothing can be born and nothing can die.

I will spend my afterlife as a Spiritual Being, working for peace and happiness on Earth. Like St Therese, I pledge to spend my Heaven doing good on Earth.

There is no such thing as death.  We have all lived before and we are all going to experience new lives.

Michael Singer
It is truly a great cosmic paradox that one of the best teachers in all of life turns out to be death. No person or situation could ever teach you as much as death has to teach you. While someone could tell you that you are not your body, death shows you. While someone could remind you of the insignificance of the things that you cling to, death takes them all away in a second. While people can teach you that men and women of all races are equal and that there is no difference between the rich and the poor, death instantly makes us all the same.
