A Thousand Broken Pieces (A Thousand Boy Kisses #2)

by Tillie Cole

A loved one’s death wasn’t a onetime thing that you had to endure.

Grief was walking through a minefield with no protection or guide.

“If someone judges you for how long it’s taking you to move past a loved one’s death, be happy for them, because it means they’ve never experienced it.”

“Your grief does not make you a bad person. The way you process it does not make you weak.

“Depression is a sickness that eats away at all happiness and light until there is nothing left but hopelessness and despair. Like cancer ravishes the body, depression ravishes the mind, the soul, the spirit. It’s a silent killer, stealing life away gradually, moment by moment, extinguishing all light from the soul.”
