Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“But I cannot always run, and each time I am forced to squarely confront my grief—when I read the death certificate, when I draft a death announcement—I feel a shimmering panic. In such moments, I notice a curious physical reaction: my body begins to shake, fingers tap uncontrollably, one leg bobbing. I am unable to quiet myself until I look away. How do people walk around functioning in the world after losing a beloved father? For the first time in my life, I am enamored of sleeping pills, and, in the middle of a shower or a meal, I burst into tears.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Another revelation: how much laughter is a part of grief. Laughter is tightly braided into our family argot, and now we laugh remembering my father, but somewhere in the background there is a haze of disbelief. The laughter trails off. The laughter becomes tears and becomes sadness and becomes rage. I am unprepared”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“I must spare my lovedones my endless roiling thoughts. I must conceal just how hard grief's iron clamp is.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“In truth, at first it is a protective stance, a shrinking from further pain, because I am drained limp from crying, and to speak about it would be to cry again. But later it is because I want to sit alone with my grief. I want to protect—hide? hide from?—these foreign sensations, this bewildering series of hills and valleys.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Kelly Barnhill
“A good scientist must remain curious, open-minded, humble, and above all, obedient to the data, and to the facts.”
Kelly Barnhill, When Women Were Dragons
