“Nothing is lost. Nothing is forgotten. It was in the blood, the flesh. And now, it is forever.”
― Greg Bear, Blood Music

“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.”
― David Kessler, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief

“Be careful what masks you wear, child, lest you lose your true face forever.”
― Cassandra Clare, Queen of Air and Darkness
