“I was going to fucking ace a psych eval.”

“As though all singularly possessed, we each looked down at our babies' faces, dimpling and delicate and so new, and thought, I wouldn't change a thing. Because I was this child's mother, and all of me — sun and moon, sea and sky, body and bone — would forever stand in the wild truth that I could be mother and child and freed, all at once.”
― Leila Mottley, The Girls Who Grew Big

“There is no knack to grief. It's like the sky—it hangs over everything. Sometimes the sun peeks through the clouds, other days it rains, and some days it pours.”
― Loretta Rothschild, Finding Grace

“This is what grief was, she understood that now. It was never-ending and you carried it with you. You could not stop it or regret it, you could only keep it close to your heart.”
― Alice Hoffman, The World That We Knew
