“Is it possible to be possessive of one's pain?”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

James Joyce
“And you’ll miss me more as the narrowing weeks wing by. Someday duly, oneday truly, twosday newly, till whensday.”
James Joyce, Finnegans Wake

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

“Don’t leave your teen with the choice between obediently toeing the line or acting like a lunatic to exert some level of control over life.”
Jerusha Clark, Your Teenager Is Not Crazy: Understanding Your Teen's Brain Can Make You a Better Parent

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
