“After you died I could not hold a funeral,
And so my life became a funeral.”
― Han Kang, Human Acts

“My sister will die over and over again for the rest of my life. Grief is forever. It doesn't go away; it becomes a part of you, step for step, breath for breath. I will never stop grieving Bailey because I will never stop loving her. That's just how it is. Grief and love are conjoined, you don't get one without the other. All I can do is love her, and love the world, emulate her by living with daring and spirit and joy.”
― Jandy Nelson, The Sky Is Everywhere

“You have to see the miracles for there to be miracles.”
― Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun
