“To weep is to make less the depth of grief.”

“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.”

“I feel a flash of grief so intense it almost makes me cry out: not for what I lost, but for the chances I missed.”
