Allison’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Modern Loss: Candid Conversation About Grief. Beginners Welcome.

Modern Loss: Candid Conversation About Grief. Beginners Welcome. by Rebecca Soffer

1 highlight

There’s mourning the relationship you had, and then there’s mourning the relationship you could have had.

At the funeral, I cried with my sister and she said to me, "I'll never dance with him at my wedding". I had the same thought, I felt robbed of the future I will never have. I wanted to drink beers on the beach and laugh at my grandma's quirks. I was blessed to have been loved, but I will be blessed moved forward, even though my opa is gone.

Allison’s Quotes

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
― Shel Silverstein
