“Some losses never heal you just learn to carry the burden and shed a tear every now and then”

Tina Gayle

“Some people, they can't just move on, you know, mourn and cry and be done with it. Or at least seem to be. But for me... I don't know. I didn't want to fix it, to forget. It wasn't something that was broken. It's just...something that happened. And like that hole, I'm just finding ways, every day, of working around it. Respecting and remembering and getting on at the same time. ”

Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

"Mourning is love with no place to go."
