Speed Grieving (The One, #6)

by Allison Ellis

Grief has a way of creating both a numbing cushion for the grieving and a buffer for the rest of society. People don’t want to get too close, lest they catch a whiff of the pain.

People often describe grief as a roller coaster with all its ups and downs, but really it’s more like a Ferris wheel: circular in its insidiousness, with no hope of actually moving forward until you get off.
