Amanda    Peters
“It seems unfair that time is almost up for me just when I’m finding true happiness again, but time is never a friend to the sick or the old.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

Amanda Peters
“Dying is something I have to do alone.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

Amanda    Peters
“My father was older, yes, but in my mind, still too young for death. I cursed them both, my mother and my father. They hadn’t prepared me for death.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“...a drowning nihilism, a cycle of thinking there's no point, what's the point, there's no point to anything. I want there to be a point, even if I do not know, for now, what that point is.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Amanda    Peters
“But being alone isn’t the way to make you happy,” she said. Yet, I was happy, eventually. All things take time. Grief can be wide and feel bottomless sometimes, but eventually, it begins to subside, to grow into something useful. I spent my time volunteering as a tutor, training for and running half-marathons, visiting Aunt June and Alice in Boston. For my fortieth birthday, I forced myself out of my comfort zone, took cash out of my savings account, hopped on an airplane and spent the summer in Italy and France, reading books and wandering through ancient cities. I dated but never found affection enough for a relationship.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers
