No truth can cure the sorrow we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see it through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning.
The quote reflects the deep and enduring pain associated with losing someone dear. It emphasizes that no matter how sincere or strong we might be, these qualities cannot eliminate the sorrow that accompanies loss. The inevitability of grief is acknowledged, suggesting that understanding or truths gleaned from one loss cannot prepare us for the emotional turmoil of future heartaches.
