“But losing those we love is part of life. Sometimes we lose them with things left unsaid and that hurts even worse, but mostly, the pain proves that we’re living the right way by opening our hearts. Loving others is what makes this all worthwhile, and the pain you’re feeling over your mother’s death honors her. Feel it. Accept it. And know your mother loved you back and will be waiting to greet you in the next world.”
― Nina Frost, Crown of Betrayal and Blood
