“In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it. I am anxious to afford some alleviation of your present distress. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realize that you will ever feel better. Is not this so?

I have had experience enough to know what I say; and you need only to believe it, to feel better at once.”

On the contrary, if you falter, and give up, you will lose the power of keeping any resolution, and will regret it all you life.”
