“You can not die of grief, though it feels as if you can. A heart does not actually break, though sometimes your chest aches as if it is breaking. Grief dims with time. It is the way of things.

And then you cry fresh tears, because you do not miss him as much as you once did, and giving up your grief is another kind of death.”
