Things to Say to a Dead Man Quotes

“from Taking Your Clothes to the Salvation Army:

Okay, so strangers will be grateful for this, will wear the socks to keep their feet warm, blow their noses in your handkerchiefs, pull up the shorts, tuck in the size large shirts (too small for our boys, too big for our daughter), and bits of you will be out there, engaging in a life you no longer have.”
― Jane Yolen, Things to Say to a Dead Man: Poems at the End of a Marriage and After

“I do not know where I am going or what I will do when I get there. I know only that to put one foot in front of the other, moves me on, away from you to a place, where I do not want to be.”
― Jane Yolen, Things to Say to a Dead Man: Poems at the End of a Marriage and After
