Quotes by Kate Sweeney

“Sticks and stones may break your bones, but I will surely kill you.”
― Kate Sweeney, Away From the Dawn

tags: paranormal-romance, thriller-horror

“You can only understand how someone else needs to handle death in the given, specific moment. There are few hard and fast rules. I understand both my father and my friend. Or rather, I understand neither and so allow both the dispensation the ignorant should grant the wise.”
― Kate Sweeney, American Afterlife: Encounters in the Customs of Mourning

“Today, there are no prescribed rules for mourning because it takes place outside the rest of American life, and awkward encounters like the one Mary Wilde had at the florist ' s are a natural result of that. And maybe special classifications like "complicated grief" can have the effect of safely categorizing away people to whom horrific things happen, reassuring everyone else that catastrophe is not part of the regular course of human life. Not here, in twenty-first - century America.”
