“The secret to a beautiful death is living a beautiful life.”
― Mikki Brammer, The Collected Regrets of Clover

“What most people don’t consider is that death is often random and cruel. It doesn’t care if you’ve been kind all your life. Or if you’ve eaten healthily, exercised often, and always worn a seat belt or a helmet. It doesn’t care that a loved one left behind might spend the rest of their lives replaying events in their head, tormented by the words “if only.” People tell themselves they’ve got plenty of time, until they’re at the mercy of a careless action—a driver on their cellphone, a neighbor who left a candle burning. And by then, it’s too late.”
― Mikki Brammer, The Collected Regrets of Clover

“I’ve never understood Western society’s warped perception of grief as something quantifiable and finite, a problem to be fixed.”

“Be cautiously reckless.”
