And grief still feels like fear. Perhaps, more strictly, like suspense. Or like waiting; just hanging about waiting for something to happen.
I love all these connections between grief, time, and fear throughout this book.

They say, ‘The coward dies many times’; so does the beloved.
Such a short line yet so impactful. This book is one of my favorites now.

It is a part of the past.
And the past is the past
and that is what time means,
and time itself is
one more name for death,
and Heaven itself is a state where
‘the former things have passed away.’

Is anything more certain than that in all those vast times and spaces, if I were allowed to search them, I should nowhere find her face, her voice, her touch? She died. She is dead. Is the word so difficult to learn?
Stab me right where it hurts, and watch me bleed tears.

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.
Such good lines to start the book. I feel this on a personal level.
