“Anger is just sadness coming out sideways, Wren." His statement renders me speechless, and tears fill my eyes. It is the most profound and relatable explanation of grief that I have ever heard. Until now, I've mostly brushed grief under the rug in favor of my anger, because how could I be sad about losing something that wasn't real? But the grief didn't stay where I'd shoved it. It got tangled up with my anger and it's been oozing at the seams this whole time.” — Tracy Garvis Graves

His statement renders me speechless, and tears fill my eyes. It is the most profound and relatable explanation of grief that I have ever heard. Until now, I've mostly brushed grief under the rug in favor of my anger, because how could I be sad about losing something that wasn't real? But the grief didn't stay where I'd shoved it. It got tangled up with my anger and it's been oozing at the seams this whole time.
