She had always assumed that her life would end inside the war, that the war itself would be her eternal present, as it was for Darrow and for her brother. The possibility of time going on, her memories growing dim, the photographs of the battles turning from life into history terrified her. Tatjana Soli
About This Quote

On July 9, 2014, Rose McGowan wrote a tweet that sparked a firestorm. “Sorry, but it's true. You don't get to choose what you go through. You can always choose how you respond to it.” If this sounds like an overly simplistic way to deal with grief, there is a deeper message here for Rose McGowan herself. For many people, the loss of a loved one is always part of their lives.

They never know when or where they will be challenged by memories or reminders of their loss. The idea that you can choose how you respond to your loss is one that Rose McGowan has always believed in. Rose wrote her book "FIND ME" to help others who are mourning or who have lost someone to inspire them to move forward.

It’s also meant as an inspiring message for those who have lost loved ones, so they know they are not alone and they have the strength to overcome their loss.
