Concentrate on the things that matter to you.

To be perfectly frank, there is an odd place after losing a child, where you think somehow your life is worth less.

I have an obligation to try to live as long as I can for my family.

Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good.

Leave me if you must, but be faithful to me if you are with me.

You have to have enough respect for other human beings to leave their lives alone. If you admire that life, build it for yourself. Don't just try to come in and take somebody else's life.

Life is this great big blackboard, and on it you write all the things that you do.
