4 Quotes by Christian McEwen

Mourning has a pace and rhythm of its own. It cannot be rushed.

A mourner is, perforce, a person with a story. The pity is, how very rarely it gets told.

To mourn is to be extraordinarily vulnerable. It is to be at the mercy of inside feelings and outside events in a way most of us have not been since early childhood.

Walking, talking, reading, drawing, praying, telling stories: the nourishment is there, as close as our own breath. We only have to pause a moment, notice, and enjoy.
