Eileen WilksDeath cuts off possibilities. Even if they were possibilities you never meant to act on, it feels differentwhen they’re gone.
About This Quote
When someone dies, they are forever removed from your life. They are no longer a part of the world, with the result that you are no longer part of their world. You never get to see them again or hear them say anything else. When you lose someone, you lose the chance to see if things might have worked out differently.
It’s all too easy to fall into regret after someone dies. It’s easy to feel like if only they had lived and we could have, then we might still be together and all would be right in the world.
