“Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver.”
― Sophocles, Antigone

“Holding the knife with the blade against my palm, it became so clear how my life would only contain shadows now. Shadows of things gone; not just the people themselves but everything connected to them. Was this my future? Every moment, every tiny thing I saw and did and touched, weighted by loss. Every space in this house and
my town and the world in general, empty in a way that could never be filled.”
― Jennifer Castle, The Beginning of After

“It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on, coughing and searching, and finding.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“If he didn’t love so deeply, he couldn’t grieve so deeply. But he’s drowning in it.”
― Dee Henderson, The Protector
