"There are times in grief when the phone doesn't ring, when a kind text doesn't come, or when no one shows up with comforting words. Whether it's because your support system has never existed, has disappeared, or simply doesn't knowhow to respond to the unique circumstances surrounding your loss, there are moments where you may feel alone in your grief. In these moments, you deserve language to wrap around yourself like a warm blanket, even if it's your own voice doing the wrapping."

"A dear friend, who has now passed, told me that you are frozen for the first year after tragedy strikes. This first year is filled with anniversaries and other events that you look back on in disbelief at how life has changed. You go to bed on earth and wake up on Mars, a complete shift in your reality. The idea of being completely frozen is very real."

"And there's all these phrases like, time heals all wounds. It doesn't. Don't look to be healed. You have a sacred wound, take care of it, don't let it get infected, but it's not necessarily going to heal, you just learn to live with it."

"The first year, we mourned for Grace and the loss of her presence in our lives. The second year, we grieved for ourselves because we knew she would never come bounding down the stairs in her jammies to see what Santa had brought. By year three, we'd begun to move out of the fog, and glimmers of hope, like shoots of new grass, began to surface." Foreword by Ann Hood.
