“Sorrow comes in great waves but rolls over us and though it may almost smother us it passes and we remain ”
— Henry James

Simplified Meaning:
When bad things happen, they can feel overwhelming, like a huge wave crashing over us. We might feel like we can't breathe or that the sadness is too much to handle. But just like ocean waves, this intense feeling of sorrow eventually moves on. Even though it hurts a lot, it doesn't last forever, and we survive it. For example, when someone loses a loved one, the sadness may feel unbearable at first. Over time, the pain eases, and they find ways to cope and continue living. This idea can help us stay strong, reminding us that no matter how tough things get, we will get through it.
