My Heart & Other Breakables Quotes

“When someone is lost to you, grief will find them, carrying them to you in a memory like a pearl from an ocean floor. You may not see this for the gift it is. But to honour grief, to honour love, is to take each memory in the shell of you, and let them beauty of them shine through the tears of now.”
― Alex Barclay, My Heart & Other Breakables: How I lost my mom, found my dad, and made friends with catastrophe
