    “Separation

    Your absence has gone through me
    Like thread through a needle.
    Everything I do is stitched with its color.”

    Anne Lamott
    “You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

    Jeanette Winterson
    “You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?”
    ― Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

    Ranata Suzuki
    “I think perhaps I will always hold a candle for you – even until it burns my hand.
    And when the light has long since gone …. I will be there in the darkness holding what remains, quite simply because I cannot let go.”
    ― Ranata Suzuki

    C.S. Lewis
    “Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.

    But no, that is not quite accurate. There is one place where her absence comes locally home to me, and it is a place I can't avoid. I mean my own body. It had such a different importance while it was the body of H.'s lover. Now it's like an empty house.”
    ― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed
