Quotes by Babette Hughes (?)

“The loss of my beloved sons, Eric and Steve, have, with the help of a Jungian analyst, taught me to focus on the years when they were alive and healthy. Motivated by my pain I learned step-by-slow-step to live with loss and grief. In a culture that denies death, my sons’ deaths have shown me how to accept my own death whenever it comes.”
― Babette Hughes, 97 Speaks: Lessons from the Decades
