"It's already obvious to me that Mum's death is not going to Sink In and neither will I ever be Over It. The best I can do is coexist with it. Grief has to talk to normality, normality has to talk to grief, and they both have to listen. It's an ongoing peace deal, a two-state solution."

"One way of imagining life is that it's a competition between love and death. Death always wins, of course, but love is there to make its victory a hollow one. That's what love is for."
That's beautiful.
