Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s damn hard to fall apart when you’re busy being steady for somebody else.
numbness is a gift. It keeps us moving and helps us to survive the things that feel unsurvivable.
that when your world falls to pieces, your brain will not keep you moving. Your brain will shut down to a low static hum. Your heart will tear itself in half and ache until you’re sure you’ll die. Until some part of you wishes you could. It’s your instincts that will keep you alive.
“Because sometimes it is easier to force strength for others than to allow ourselves to feel weak and hurt.”
“I think that’s what grief does. It reminds us that we are small. That we are not in control.”
