“But that's what people think when their loved one's die, isn't it? They keep thinking it's only temporary. That they're gone, in the other room, maybe at work, or on vacation. That they're just away and they'll be back at some point. Maybe that's how you get through death, by telling yourself your father will pick up the phone, and that if he doesn't that he'll call you back soon, and so in the back of your mind, at the back of your heart, you're just waiting. Waiting for them to return and for life to go back to normal again. The idea that they're never coming back is... it's more than unbearable. It goes against everything you've ever known.”
