About This Quote

If they tell you that she died of sleeping pills you must know that she died of a wasting grief, of a slow bleeding at the soul. The words "she died of sleeping pills" are misleading and false. She was not given sleeping pills; she did not take sleeping pills. If they say she died of a wasting grief, you must know that the grief was slow and deep, and the wound in her soul went on and on and on.
