“You have to undergo the terrible process of becoming more resilient. But in return…(and you have also begun to feel this already) in return the power of protection now becomes yours, and all the gentleness which until now you had been able to receive will blossom more and more inside of you into your new capacity to share it as something—inherited and acquired unspeakably, at the deepest price—of your own.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, The Dark Interval: Letters on Loss, Grief, and Transformation
