Rosamund Lupton said this quote

When I talk about unrequited love, most of you probably think about romantic love, but there are many other kinds of love that are not adequately returned, if they are returned at all. An angry adolescent may not love her mother back as her mother loves her; an abusive father doesn't return the innocent open love of his young child. But grief is the ultimate unrequieted love. However hard and however long we love someone who has died, they can never love us back. At least that is how it feels...

Grief is love turned into an eternal missing

Your coffin reached the monstrous hole. And a part of me went down into the muddy earth with you and lay down next to you and died with you.
