Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life.
It is usually unbearably painful to read a book by an author who knows way less than you do, unless the book is a novel.
Why wait to forgive and let go only after you have sufficiently wallowed in your despair? Why not forgive and let go now?
I need to stop running back to you in my mind all the time.
Forgiveness is a transformative act because it asks you to be a more empathetic and compassionate person, thereby making you better than the person you were when you were first hurt.
Your smile and your laughter lit my whole world.
I raised you so high that every other man on earth is now doomed to live in your shadow.
I miss that feeling of connection.Knowing he was out there somewhere thinking about me at the same time I was thinking about him.
At least I rescued your poor hot dog.
I would have followed you to hell and back... if only you'd lead me back.
You need to keep hurting until you realise you never needed to hurt in the first place.
