See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it. And the very act of living is a tide: at first it seems to make no difference at all, and then one day you look down and see how much pain has eroded. Jodi Picoult
About This Quote

We all come into this world with things that we need to learn, like how to laugh, how to cry, what love truly means. But as time goes on, we learn how to live without them. We learn how to accept the things that are missing in our lives. Sooner or later, we come upon something that reminds us of those old things.

And then we start to feel that old pain again. What’s even worse is that these things almost always happen when we least expect them too.
