“The reality of grief is far different from what others see from the outside. There is pain in this world that you can't be cheered out of. You don't need solutions.

You need someone to hold your hands while you stand there in blinking horror, staring at the hole that was your life. Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.”
