All we can do is try, do our best. Give as much time as we have to give, one day at a time. One breath at a time

You need to let yourself feel. Feel it, own it. Then move on

I can't promise you forever, because that's not long enough.

That's what courage is you know: being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.

It ain't the end of the world, you know. Just the end of what you knew.

The only way past the pain is through it. Pain, grief, anger, misery...they don't go away-they just increase and compound and get worse. You have to live through them, acknowledge them. You have to give your pain its due.

Compassion and pity are not the same: pity is looking down on someone, feeling sorry for them and offering nothing; compassion is seeing their pain and offering them understanding.
