Alex Kotlowitz Quote

This is grief. You feel ripped in half. Half of you wanting to retreat, to disappear, to find a place where no one asks questions. And then there’s the part of you that wants to remember, has to remember because if you don't, not only will the day cease to exist but so will the reality of that moment.
