“But time will slowly heal you, as it is doing for me. There are good days and there are difficult days. Your grief will never fully fade; it will always be with you--a shadow you carry in your soul--but it will become fainter as your life becomes brighter. You will learn to live outside of it again, as impossible as that may sound. Others who share your pain will also help you heal. Because you are not alone. Not in your fear or your grief or your hopes or your dreams. You are not alone.”
― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals

“And I understood that if I kept it all up...

no one would know me.

A dim light far in the distance? No.

To love -- I had to be there.

I had to be there to be loved.”
― Marie Howe, Magdalene: Poems
