“But with complete assurance, I can say that after she was gone, a different strange and beautiful thing happened in a slow, inexorable way. It seemed wherever I looked around at the lives of others they too had lost their beloveds.”
Frederick Marx, At Death Do Us Part: A Grieving Widower Heals After Losing his Wife to Breast Cancer

“Tracy’s dead. I have to say the words to myself many times a day so I can begin to believe it. Knowing that death is coming does little to mitigate against the impact of its arrival.”

“She once told me, without irony, that if I just did what she said I wouldn’t be so miserable. If there were one phrase Tracy used repeatedly that could sum up her character it would be “you’re not the boss of me.”
