“Life is made of so many moments that mean nothing. Then one day, a single moment comes along to define every second that comes after. Such moments are tests of courage, of strength.”

“Parents who have lost a child should be told that they will never heal from their loss. They will always have a terrible, wide hole within them. And other holes, smaller ones. The way the dead daughter used to smell like apples in the summer? That’s a hole. How the dead boy snorted when he laughed really hard. Another hole. One hole surrounded by nearly an entire constellation of others. So no, if your child dies, you will not heal. Do not wait for the healing to arrive. It will never come. The holes will never leave or be filled with anything at all. But holes are interesting things.”

“Unhappy Anniversary
Memories fly, tears descend,
when death's anniversary
impinges upon the present.
Light a candle in the wind,
reminisce upon a kiss;
Loss's torment reigns eternal,
long after all our tears are spent.
Neither motions of joy,
nor effervescence of bliss
can't throw us off
the scent of lingering lament.
Death, is death, is death,
with or without our frail consent.”
