Quote by Doina Ruști

“His death hit me hard, and I was never able to let him go. Even though I’d seen him dead and buried, the truth was that he had never really left me. I grew up measuring myself against him, counting the years, thinking: one day I’ll be as old as Tavică was.”

“The Mortal Tempest by Stewart Stafford In the tranquil, shaded crypt, Life's storms batter no more, Historia, the isolated remnant, Of an interior remembrance. The howling gale, a mourner's cry, Icy tendrils reaching to exert, The only possible pressure, On a shell in heedless slumber. A post-mortem death wish, Phantom projection of the morbid, To vacate an urn and soar, Swirling ash in the mortal tempest. © 2021, Stewart Stafford. All rights reserved.”

“Yearning is not only for the past, for something that was. Yearning also means that there is something we do not like about the present. If yearning were only about the past, we would simply spend some time with our memeories, and then switch gears to focus on whatever is happening in the present. But the present moment can be full of pain when we are grieving, which makes the past all the more desirable. If the present has little to say for itself, or if we feel unable to shift our attention and we do not even know what the present has to offer, the more likely it is that yearning will persist.”
