“

We are all broken in some way.

“

I haven’t spoken to my grandmother since the day before she died. I wish I was one of those people who are convinced they’ve at some point felt the presence of those who’ve passed on. I don’t feel my grandmother anywhere.

“

When we are forced into a situation not of our choosing, we discover the essence of who we really are.

“

You will feel grief far beyond the initial moments after someone you love dies. 

“

I once read something that compared grief to walking through a cold, dark tunnel. For anyone who has recently lost somebody, your tunnel may seem extra long right now, but I promise you there is still going to be light at the end of it.

“

Losing you was not crashing waves. It was a slow burn.

“

If your mother was anything like mine, then her spirit deserves to be remembered.

“

A few weeks ago, the part of me that hoped one day I would be able to meet you died.

“

I wonder if he wants me to stop crying while writing this, heck I even wonder what he thinks of the things I write.

“

You never think that it will be the last time you share these small moments with someone.
