“Forgetting pain is convenient, remembering it; agonizing. But uncovering the truth is worth all the suffering. And our Wonderland, though damaged, is safe in memory....for now”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

“When we're in pain people are too quick to say "Get over it, move on, it's not that bad". But we don't get over grief by denying it. We have to feel it. We have to give it it's due. Sometimes that means doing the exact opposite of "moving on". We have to dive down to the very depths of our sorrow, relive every terrible moment, and endure the torture of asking what could have been---and what will now be. We have to bleed out before our hearts can start beating again.”
