Whenever I go to Germany I find that my readers have T-shirts with my book covers printed on them. They come to all the events, they have gifts and they come with their families. They are always very open to sharing their personal stories.

Today I love you more than ever; tomorrow I will love you even more. I need you more than ever, I want you more than ever.

We each have our hiding places and we each put up with the little quirks of the people we love.

...all people needed was time and then they could figure most things out of themselves.

When something tragic has happened, you'll find that you, the tragicee, become the person that has to make everything comfortable for everyone else.... As a tragicee and future divorcee, you'll also find that people will question you on the biggest decisions you've ever made in your life as though you hadn't thought about them at all before – as though, through their twenty questions and dubious faces, they're going to shine light on something that you missed the hundredth time around during your darkest hours.

Don't mind all those people who say that you should be back to normal in a month or two. Grieving is all part of helping yourself anyway.

But with your life you make a few bad decisions, get unlucky a few times, whatever, but you have to keep going, right?
