“Everyone thinks that courage is about facing death without flinching. But almost anyone can do that. Almost anyone can hold their breath and not scream for as long as it takes to die.

“If a man does not die of a wound, then it heals in some fashion, and so it is with loss.

So grief has always seemed to me, a time of waiting not for the hurt to pass, but to become accustomed to it.”
