Ideally, both members of a couple in love free each other to new and different worlds.

One must go through periods of numbness that are harder to bear than grief.

So many things we love are you!

the final lesson of learning to be independent - widowhood ... is the hardest lesson of all.

Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.

I do not like talking casually to people - it does not interest me - and most of them are unwilling to talk at all seriously.

After all, I don't see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood.
