“Grief never really goes away. Time doesn’t heal. Not fully. After a while - a few months, a few years maybe – grief retreats into the darkest corners of your mind, but it will lurk there indefinitely. It will leak into everything else you do or feel; it will lurch forward when you don’t expect it. It will haunt you when you sleep.

Time doesn’t heal, it cauterises.”
― Keith Stuart, A Boy Made of Blocks

“Silence had pounded a nail in the coffin of my marriage. But communication was key.”
― Barbara Delinsky, Before and Again

“The trouble with waking up in the morning is that you look like who you are. That’s great if you like who you are – not so great if you don’t.”
― Barbara Delinsky, Before and Again

“It's weird how a whole life can be distilled into a series of moments, and how, without thinking, we order those moments into a story that makes sense and seems to mean something. We are endless editors of our own histories. But sometimes we get it wrong”
― Keith Stuart, A Boy Made of Blocks
