When catastrophe strikes compassion and love unite. A storm can't break the spirit of love. A storm may crack your windows, tear off your roof, wreck your house, but it absolutely cannot destroy the foundation you hold within yourself. Stay strong. Stay rooted. Carry love in your heart, always, and know the sacred things in life can't be touched. Melody Lee
About This Quote

When we’re faced with tragedy we don’t get to choose how we respond. We get to choose how we respond when we get out of the situation. When a loved one has been hurt or killed, it’s easy to see the world as a black and white place where there are winners and losers. The truth is that there are no winners and losers in a tragedy.

There are only survivors and victims. When tragedy strikes, it can feel like all of life is a big game where everyone is wearing a mask of props and costumes, and your loved one isn’t really your loved one at all. You’ve been asked to play a role you weren’t expecting.

It’s hard to know who to trust, who will be on your side, or what the right thing to do is. That doesn’t mean that you have to give up on your loved one or accept that they have suffered a terrible fate. It just means you have to be prepared for the fact that this isn’t going to be an ordinary kind of tragedy.
