Why can't I write something that would awake the dead? That pursuit is what burns most deeply.

Grief starts to become indulgent, and it doesn't serve anyone, and it's painful. But if you transform it into remembrance, then you're magnifying the person you lost and also giving something of that person to other people, so they can experience something of that person.

Those who have suffered understand suffering and therefore extend their hand.

Grief isn't all tears.
