The Mystery of Death
“The mystery of death, the riddle of how you could speak to someone and see them every day and then never again, was so impossible to fathom that of course we kept trying to figure it out, even when we were unconscious.” ―Francine Prose
We Live In A World…
“We live in a world that is beyond our control, and life is in a constant flux of change. So we have a decision to make: keep trying to control a storm that is not going to go away or start learning how to live within the rain.” ―Glenn Pemberton

I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief." -C.S.Lewis Today was difficult. … Continue reading Part of Every Misery
