“This--this was what came after. Living. She would carry the dead with her, but now she wouldn't be burdened by them. They were a weight that would lessen with every step; not because the memories would fade, but because she'd be stronger for bearing them. And perhaps this was the truth about the dead. You went on. They'd want you to.” — Emily Lloyd-Jones
