Quote by Anna Marie Riley

“Death has a strange, polarizing effect on the person who's lost. the most. The immense sadness and dread that comes with losing the one who loved and supported you unconditionally is swift and inescapable. It begs the question "who am I without this person?" because in a strange way, two people have died.”
