“Don't say mourning. It's too psychoanalytic. I'm not mourning. I'm suffering.”

“I knew what it was like to lose someone you loved. You didn't get past something like that, you got through it.”

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.”
