“as long as you had a good book for company, you never needed to feel lonely.”
― Anne Marie Ryan, Christmas by the Book

“A Grief Observed, which Lewis had written about the loss of his wife, had broken through Nora’s isolation and pain. Lewis had described her suffering, and the ever-changing nature of grief, exactly. He understood that grief wasn’t a linear process, for all the talk about its different stages. Despair can hit you out of the blue, Nora knew, months—even years—after losing someone you love.”
― Anne Marie Ryan, Christmas by the Book
