“Is that what mourning is? The hole ripped through you by something—someone you thought would be in your life forever? I don't know. There are different types of loss, I guess. And they all carry their own weight, as though the earth has a special gravity for every individual loss.
If loss has weight, then I guess joy is the ballast. The counterweight, the lightness that lifts you up. Maybe it's love. Maybe it's hope. Maybe a person needs to hold on to all those things so the grief doesn't sink you.”
