“Here is one of the worst things about having someone you love die: It happens again every single morning.”

“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.”

When someone you love dies, you get a big bowl of sadness put down in front of you, steaming hot. You can start eating now, or you can let it cool and eat it bit by bit later on. Either way, you end up eating the whole thing. There's really no way around it.”
