“Vivir en duelo es esto: nunca estar sola. Invisible pero patente de muchas formas, la presencia de los muertos nos acompaña en los minúsculos intersticios de los días. Por sobre el hombro, a un lado de la voz, en el eco de cada paso. Arriba de las ventanas, en el filo del horizonte, entre las sombras de los árboles. Siempre están allá y siempre están aquí, con y adentro de nosotros, y afuera, envolviéndonos con su calidez, protegiéndonos de la intemperie. Éste es el trabajo del duelo: reconocer su presencia, decirle que sí a su presencia. Siempre hay otros ojos viendo lo que veo e imaginar ese otro ángulo, imaginar lo que unos sentidos que no son los míos podrían apreciar a través de mis sentidos es, bien mirado, una definición puntual del amor. El duelo es el fin de la soledad.”
