“Her death had crushed my heart and all I wanted to do was burrow and hide, to be solitarily numb. Yet the more I burrowed, the more she was there — inside my brain, inside my soul.”
― Frank Fitzpatrick, Resting in My Soul: Tracing Threads of Myth and Memory

“Grief is the price we pay for deep love.”

“There should be a word for the ability to stop crying about a past pain even though it's still in you. There should be a word for living.

Yes, that's it. There should be a word for continuing to live when a part of you has died. There should be a word that sums that up. And the longer you live, the more that word should become a part of you. Because the thing of it is, every day that the person is missed feels longer and there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing you can do to share the long, beautiful days which they are not a part of.”
― Jason Mott, People Like Us

“In truth, nothing and no one is ever lost. The forms we love change shape, but the life within them remains. When we see that clearly, death — our own or a loved one — becomes a graced opportunity to know that life does not and cannot end.”
― Donna Goddard, Consciousness Rising
