David MitchellGrief is an amputation, but hope is incurable haemophilia: you bleed and bleed and bleed. Like Schrödinger’s cat inside a box you can never ever open.
About This Quote
The quote is spoken by the character of Mrs. Miller in the movie Miller’s Crossing. She is talking about her husband, who was shot and died during their honeymoon trip. Miller’s Crossing is all about family and love, so it makes sense that she would share this quote with us.
The best way for someone to be able to move on after the loss of a loved one is to mourn until you let go of the grief. Otherwise, you will continue to bleed and bleed and bleed until there is no hope left.
