“Humans learn to adapt despite anything and everything. Every blow, every strike, every catastrophic, life-levelling event—you just carry on, because what’s the alternative? But it doesn’t make it hurt any less.” GriefHealingMental HealthRecoveryGrief And Healing Book:Harper's Landing Source: Harper's Landing
“She was the ocean—consuming, devastating, no hope of predicting or controlling her—and I was a helpless little piece of sea glass, thrown around in the pull of her tide, hoping to have my sharp edges smoothed by her touch.” LoveGriefHealingMental HealthRecovery Book:Harper's Landing Source: Harper's Landing
“After Rose, I had so much guilt and it simmered for a long time, until after Sarah left, and it started boiling until my head became a pressure cooker, my body vibrating with energy that had no outlet. Until I cross-threaded a screw while I was fixing the bay door at the Firehouse, and it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I lost my fucking mind, that way you do when it’s been building for too long, and when you finally snap, it’s at something you can’t realistically blame or punish, like an inopportune papercut, hitting your head on a cupboard door, or trying to put your jacket on, but your sleeve is inside out so your arm gets stuck.” HumorGriefHealingAngerMental HealthRecoveryGrief And Loss Book:Harper's Landing Source: Harper's Landing
