When you care about other people, it takes the spotlight off your own drama.

I somehow make it through the first month. I dress and brush my teeth when they tell me to. And I experience the hollow feeling of complete loss, which is emptiness.

And just being there is ninety-nine percent of what matters when your world falls apart

I don't want to know how you did it. I want to believe you are magic.

It has been my experience that rewarding and heartbreaking often go hand in hand.

For someone grieving, moving forward is the challenge. Because after extreme loss, you want to go back.

What we expect rarely occurs; what we don't expect is what happens.
