“People liked to believe that tragedies are interchangeable, that they bought you entrance into some kind of brotherhood of grief, where empathy among members was exalted, telepathic, but this is was probably because they needed to believe that tragedy taught you something, that is wasn't a total waste, that the prize you received in lieu of your loss was a new level of understanding. Max didn't view his bereavement as particularly educational, however. All he new now that he hadn't known before was what he should have known in the first place: no one was safe.”

Author:Christina Rossetti

“Mammie was out there in the dark and cold. No one would ever bring her in, to warm and dry and cherish her. There was rain seeping through the earth and into her coffin. Water gets everywhere. It finds a way, no matter how tight the carpenter dovetails his joints. When rain spattered on the windows I could never run to open the door for her, to take off her cloak to dry it by the fire, kneel to take off her boots. She was part of the cold darkness. She would never come in. And here I was, still putting food into my mouth and swallowing it. I lay bound, as heavy as if I too had the weight of six feet of earth above me.”
