Ann BrasharesIt was like a dream you might have after death in which lost people came back to life, your friends loved you again no matter what you had done, and your failures were unaccountably forgiven.
About This Quote
Often in the course of a loved one’s illness, we find ourselves thinking that if only our loved one could get better, then everything would be perfect. If only there were a magic pill that would make everything right, then we wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Unfortunately, this is not how things work. There is no magic pill that will make everything go away.
There is no failed lover or friend that can magically love you again after you’ve done terrible things to them. No matter how much you may want it to be true, sometimes the best thing you can do for someone who is ill is simply bear witness to their suffering.
