shelved at chapter 2.

“Grief was a capricious companion. Sometimes distant and aloof. Sometimes so overwhelming it was hard to think a straight thought. Its mood changed at whim, making it emotionally exhausting to keep up. There were times, like right now, when it felt as though I’d been grieving my whole life long. Probably because I had been.”

Chapter 7

Beginning chapter 31. Might shelve it. There should be a trigger warning with this audio book.

Even the actual book is Hygge-like: lovely textured cover, beautiful pastedown & endpaper for the perfect sized book.

You do not know how fast you have been running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until someone stands behind you and says, “it’s ok, you can fall down now. I’ll catch you.”

"The path back to normal life is indescribably long once death has swept the feet out from under of those of us who are left. Grief is a wild animal that drags us so far out into the darkness that we can't imagine ever getting home again...ever laughing again. It hurts in such a way that you can never really figure out if it actually passes or if you just get used to it."

Quit in Chapter 4
