About This Quote

A quote from the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami who said, “All the times I have suddenly realized that my parents are dead, even now, it still surprises me, to exist in the world while that which made me has ceased to exist.” In this quote, Murakami is saying that he had been living without his parents for a long time and he was still surprised by their death. He experienced a sense of loss and sadness after they passed on. This is a very true statement. The loss of loved ones can be a very surprising experience.

We never truly expect to lose someone we love or have loved. The death of a loved one can have a profound effect on our lives and the way we live them.
