This Party's Dead Quotes

“Grief is like drowning. It's gnawing absence, and a threat. It's raw terror, it's bargaining for extra time, it's your heart outside your body in a hailstorm, it's nothing mattering anymore. But suddenly I'm seeing, as if for the first time, that it isn't unusual.”
― Erica Buist, This Party's Dead: Grief, Joy and Spilled Rum at the World’s Death Festivals
