“Grief is the hardest emotion to describe, because so much of it is numbness; it is also passive, something one undergoes rather than something one undertakes. It becomes difficult to locate oneself. When Maria went missing, a part of me did too. My capacity for love, which had always seemed elusive and equivocal even to me, was bound up in my relationship with her. I discovered that after her death. I had not known it before. It is a familiar story. There is nothing original about pain.”

“It isn't that easy It's just not as easy as saying try again and don't give up Life is teaching her repeatedly That pain is definitely something to shake off And she is staring at death in the face and saying I just can't do it anymore I'm ready Yet life picks her up and shows her the bright light But again as she walks toward the brightness it slowly fades away Always leaving her with never ending hope and shattered dreams.”

“Blessed moments are just like droplets of water, once they touch the ground they never return the same. Such are those beautiful memories that melt our hearts. Those moments happen only once. They take our breath away in a few minutes but imprint it in our memory forever. Once we no longer experience such moments our minds remember these beautiful memories but a few seconds later agony floods in. When a moment becomes a memory it is a very painful experience.”
