Quote by Liane Moriarty

“It's a very particular time in your life, when someone you love is dying. The world doesn't stop for you. We know this, but in our hearts we are shocked. We are like famous people who say: But don't you know who I am? Except we want to say, But don't you know what I'm going through? How can you speak to me like that when my mother is dying?”

And what damage will it do before it burns itself away completely? Here we are, surrounded by fire, fire starters, fire growers, and fire revelers. Where are the firefighters? We are the firefighters.”

“In other words, walking through the dark forest, you might eventually look up through the trees, see that the sky above is the same as the sky over the sunny pasture, that it is one canopy of light spread over your whole life’s landscape. Grief and joy are in the same life, but it’s only in the forest where you notice the shafts of sunlight spilling through.”
