Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger. You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Elif Batuman
“Suddenly it occurred to me that maybe the point of writing wasn't just to record something past but also to prolong the present, like in One Thousand and One Nights, to stretch out the time until the next thing happened.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
“And yet I know that in her death, she has found the freedom she could not find in life. She is no longer confined to a room, a bed, and a body that no longer works.”
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“For the rest of my life, I will live with my hands outstretched for things that are no longer there.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Katherine May
“Plants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on living the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through. Winter is a time of withdrawing from the world, maximising scant resources, carrying out acts of brutal efficiency and vanishing from sight; but that’s where the transformation occurs. Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible.”
Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times
