Think, Marcie, think! “I want to bury it,” I say. “On campus. My therapist feels it would be smart if I had somewhere to grieve him here. That’s, uh, what the picture was about too. I’m finally ready to deal with the memories.” God, that sounds good. I’d believe me. “I guess that makes sense,” she says. “You did kind of from Dillsboro after everything. But I thought that was how some people grieve.” I shake my head. “That’s actually the first stage of grief–denial.”

“I miss her so much, and I feel guilty for loving Zara when Ayana can’t be here.” “You’re allowed to love both. Missing one doesn’t mean you love the other less.” “My therapist says that. You say that. Everyone says that. Why can’t I believe it?” “Because grief is a liar. It tells you that joy equals betrayal. But Sarah - Ayana wanted you to live. She wanted you to love her siblings, to celebrate their milestones, to be present in their lives. Honoring her memory doesn’t mean drowning in sadness forever.” He is correct, that much makes sense in my head. Still, feelings ignore reason. Logic sits on one side. Emotion lands somewhere else.

Memory is the presence of everything he gave you. They are not the same thing, Don. And I think—" She squeezed his hand. "I think naming our son after him might help you feel the difference." He looked at her for a long moment. Then he lifted her hand and pressed his mouth to it and held it there, eyes closed. "Thank you," he said against her skin.

Maybe because Mia made it feel less like drowning and more like floating. “You ever notice,” she said after a moment, “that grief is weirdly boring? Like, it just sits there and expects you to entertain it.” I huffed a small laugh. “That’s one way to put it.” “Yeah. And it’s rude, too.” “Definitely rude.” We both smiled at that, even though the sadness still lingered between us. Mia leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees. “Anyway, I was thinking…” “Oh no,” I muttered. “That’s never good.”

June. I picked it up and typed three words. "Wear anything black." I hit send. Because grief looked good in black. And I was about to start a funeral.

“I just…It’s hard to accept that when my dad only died a few years ago. Like, Mom’s seeing someone so soon, you know?” Javier could understand her. “You used to have a puppy as a pet, right? But the puppy died of an illness after some time, and then you got another just as soon. Does that mean you never liked the first one? I don’t think so,” he said. “I think you were trying to use the next puppy to move on and recover from your grief. It’s the same when it comes to losing loved ones. Aunt Joey needs to be able to heal from her loss too. She can’t keep drowning herself in grief and sorrow.

You’re allowed a brief period to be sad in front of everyone, and then after a pre-determined amount of time, the world expects you to put your brave face back on and leave your grief in private. I have learned to keep my grief in private. It doesn’t wash over me like it used to. Rather, it comes up in random moments when silly things remind me of Calvin. Like how I always push my desk chair in when I’m done working for the day. Calvin said it’s important to let yourself know when work is trul

A Mumbai-based doctor suddenly burst into tears and said: "There's a feeling that something is going missing for me.". A student hailing from London tightly grasped her chest: "...

The sentiment reinforced the tying.'? Isn't Aren Single After Death? Aren looked upward slowly. And for the first time—. He felt something impossible.

What's the point of having a date marked on the calendar for me to mourn in the first place, when the grief came and went whenever it saw fit and was never announced in advance? But maybe it was too soon. Or maybe it was because the news fell on me from the library a few days ago.

"Yeah, I get it. Grief can make you feel a million things at once." Hearing Edmund talk about grief was like listening to McDonald's talking about Barbie dolls. It just didn't mix. People like Edmund knew next to nothing about grief. The whole world revolves around them, at least in their heads. If anybody died, it didn't matter to them.
