Sorrow is the gift you give what cannot be or is not anymore. It is a gift to the past. Anger is the gift you give the future, a sacrifice offered to unrelenting gods in hopes they’ll choke upon it and you can rebuild the world as you like it from their bones.”

What identity of her new husband????

I know the truth: I must set my husband to rest before I meet the next man I'll marry. 🥲😢
