About This Quote

Closure is an American lie used to justify revenge. Closure is something people use to make themselves feel better after a tragedy. The pain of the loss really doesn’t go away, it just gets stuck in your mind until you take action. The idea of closure is to make you feel like the pain has gone away because you talked about it or did something to fix it.

To heal, you must accept that your life will be different, broken and scarred for life. Healing is learning how to live with the pain, learning to be damaged.
