Anna QuindlenHere is one of the worst things about having someone you love die: It happens again every single morning.
About This Quote
Living with the memory of a loved one’s death can be very painful. The most painful part of it is that you can never get away from it. The pain keeps coming back and it doesn’t go away. That feeling of pain keeps coming back every single day and night.
At times, you can become so tired with all the constant reminders of the person who died that you just want to give up and let them go away forever, with no hope for a future. However, if you can continue to hold on to those memories and keep them alive, they will fade slowly but surely into nothingness. You will find that as time passes, those memories become less painful and they will no longer keep you up at night.
