All Together in One Place Quotes

“When your father died, I thought I'd die too. But then your heart keeps beating, you keep taking breaths and getting hungry and needing sleep, so you know you're not dead. One day, something makes you laugh and you're ripped with guilt because you can. A month passes and then a year, and you've gone on with your life even knowing you couldn't, but you do.”
― Jane Kirkpatrick, All Together in One Place

“She says she’s too old to fight and too fat to run, so she just has to rely on her good nature to survive.”

“It’s as though I keep reliving the loss, not just Bryce’s death, but my accident. Every time change drops by and wants to be fed, I wonder if I’ll have enough or if it’ll eat me out of house and home.” “Grief’s ravenous, isn’t it? I suppose that’s where the emptiness comes from, and we keep trying to fill it with … food and blame, irritations and what all. Keeping busy.”
― Jane Kirkpatrick, All Together in One Place
