Quotes by J.R. Erickson (?)

“Death isn’t terrible,” Cass told him. “Not for the dead. It’s those who remain who suffer.”
― J.R. Erickson, Dark River Inn

“Before this life, beyond this life, there is no end. So, it’s easy to choose death because we know there will be growth for those left behind. And no one is left for long. We all come together again. It is only here in these physical bodies, bound by the laws of our physical world, that we forget that.”
― J.R. Erickson, Some Can See
