“People say time is a great healer. They’re wrong. Time is simply a great eraser. It rolls on and on regardless, eroding our memories, chipping away at those great big boulders of misery until there’s nothing left but sharp little fragments, still painful but small enough to bear. Broken hearts don’t mend. Time just takes the pieces and grinds them to dust.”
― C.J. Tudor, The Taking of Annie Thorne

“We’re all too busy, too distracted by the sheer effort of getting through each day – working, paying the bills, the mortgage, shopping – that we don’t want to look deeper. We don’t dare. We want things to be fine. To be ‘hunky-dory’. Because we simply haven’t got the mental energy to deal with it if they’re not. It’s only when something bad happens, something irretrievable, that we see things properly. And then it’s too late.”
― C.J. Tudor, The Taking of Annie Thorne

“Grief is like a drunken house guest, always coming back for one more goodbye hug.”
― Stephen King, Bag of Bones

“You don’t abandon your friends. Not when they might need you the most.”
― Bella Forrest, A Piece of Scythe
