Losing him would, she realised, be unlike anything she had ever experienced before. A marriage is a conspiracy, a shared aspect toward the rest of the society, a code devised over a long history of negotiation and habit. That code would vanish. Her thoughts would be unobserved, her memories would be hers alone, without the heft that comes from sharing them with another. She would become insubstantial to herself. Matthew De Abaitua
About This Quote

When you lose someone you love, it's like losing a part of yourself. Having someone else tell you that you are not alone can be one of the few things that brings comfort during this time. It is so hard to deal with the fact that you have lost someone because your world just crumbles down around you. Only by having someone else to talk to, will help keep your sanity.
