Four mantras that help psychologist bear pain of loss

I like this idea and it's what attracted me to this article...

''Grief is like a fingerprint, it's unique to everyone, and so is the way you process it."

I'd turn that into a mantra but here are the mantras that bring him comfort...

''I started a little mantra: John died doing something he was passionate about. He really believed that the African people would benefit massively from that mine.

''Second part of my mantra is that he and his wife had brought up two lovely boys who are really worthwhile individuals - David, 19, and Gordon, 21, both at university in Sydney. Third, I tell people John died really quickly, instantaneously. That might be a fantasy but I choose to believe it. And the last part of my mantra is that he had the honour of having me as a brother for 52 years. That's the humour component. I refuse to be ground down by the 'oh, you poor bugger, this is terrible' business.''

What "mantras" bring you comfort?
