Quotes by Sinéad Gleeson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The shedding of blood has historically been seen as a male act of heroism: from right-of-passage fistfights, to contact sports and combat. Infrequent, random events seen as standalone milestones; stories to tell once the pain - and enough time - has passed. Female bleeding is more mundane, more frequent, more getonwithit, despite its existence being the reason that every single life begins”
Sinéad Gleeson, Constellations: Reflections From Life

“Leaving the home on that last night, I kiss her hands. You were so important, I tell her. You were so loved”
Sinéad Gleeson, Constellations: Reflections From Life

“Everyone is dazed. Screaming silently, making endless cups of tea. Grief is bewilderment. Grief is circling rooms and talking to unnamed relatives. Grief is a permanent headache and knotted stomach. Grief is sluggish time, staring at strangers on the street and thinking 'how can you act like nothing's happened?'. Grief is being angry that the sun is still shimmering away, smiling in the sky.”
Sinéad Gleeson, Constellations
