“So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”

“Unless you have been very, very lucky, you have undoubtedly experienced events in your life that have made you cry. So unless you have been very, very lucky, you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.”

“How can it be that there is such a colossal gap between what we think we know about grief and mourning and what we actually find out when it comes to us?”
