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?”
