“There is a kind of silence only hospitals understand, the kind that stands in the hallway after you hear 'we did our best' the kind that follows you home, sits at your table and eats with you for the rest of your life.” LovePoetryLossGriefHealingSadRomanticLongingHospitalHearbreak Book:A Shelf of Things I Never Said Source: A Shelf of Things I Never Said
“Hospitals are quiet in the wrong way. Not the kind of quiet that soothes but the kind that holds its breath. Metal beds with stiff sheets, monitors that blink like half-truths. I watch grief drip slowly from IV bags, measured, saline, polite. There’s a chair near the window I never sit in. It knows too much.” LoveDeathPoetryLossGriefHealingSadLongingHospitalHearbreak Book:A Shelf of Things I Never Said Source: A Shelf of Things I Never Said
