Quotes by Kate Sweeney  (?)

“Sticks and stones may break your bones, but I will surely kill you.”
Kate Sweeney, Away From the Dawn

“You can only understand how someone else needs to handle death in the given, specific moment. There are few hard and fast rules. I understand both my father and my friend. Or rather, I understand neither and so allow both the dispensation the ignorant should grant the wise.”
Kate Sweeney, American Afterlife: Encounters in the Customs of Mourning

“It’s not just the permanence of the finished product, but the discomfort inherent in the process that draws people in mourning to translate an emotional throbbing into a physical one and emerge intact on the other side with a beautiful scar.”
Kate Sweeney, American Afterlife: Encounters in the Customs of Mourning
