“Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you”

Simplified Meaning:
When someone experiences a loss or something very sad happens, it doesn't turn them into a different person. Instead, it shows who they really are deep inside. For example, imagine a person who is always smiling and helping others. When they face a tough time, like losing a loved one, they might continue to show kindness and strength even though they are hurting. This difficult moment shines a light on their true character. It's like when you squeeze a sponge, you see what it is soaked with. In this way, grief brings out the real qualities a person has, whether it’s bravery, kindness, or something else. Understanding this can help people see that hard times don't make them weak; they uncover their genuine selves.
