Quote by G. Scott Graham

“You do not move on. You move with. Grief is not a door you exit. It is the floor beneath you. It holds you up, even as it shakes. The one who walks the Way does not step over sorrow to prove strength. They carry it like water — not clenched, but cupped.”

“I know what it's like to have your family taken from you. To feel that emptiness--that pain--and fear it's never going to leave you. I know how it feels to be left with nothing but darkness. I know what it's like to become that darkness, how consuming it is. It's so much easier to hide in the night than to fight for the light. I also know how tempting it is not to feel any of those things. To shut everyone out so you never have to experience that kind of agony again. I know, Cal. I know.”

“I Am Chameleon by Stewart Stafford I am the shadow in your peripheral vision, A rippling in the brilliantine matrix, A wind's mesmerising, gossamer lullaby, The speck of dust for a euphoric sneeze. I am the shimmering, starry shell of night, The bird that bathes in transient pools, A cloud, shaped by myriad perspectives, Flaming phoenix flower picked to re-sprout. I am the tribal cave of rest and warmth, The cleansing pool of birth and rebirth, The fire of light, heat, and nourishment, The beloved departed's shawl on cold nights. I am soup and a sandwich on a rainy day, Banquet feast of a gathering of the clans, Caviar of the commonplace, regal remnants, An after-dinner mint to soothe and satiate. I am the floating shadow clinging to the corner of your eye. © 2025, Stewart Stafford. All rights reserved.”

“But grief, too, is a kind of alchemy, a slow and painful reshaping. It does not stay as lead, Though it feels it will, pressing, suffocating, unyielding. Time enters the crucible, and with it, the heat of memory, The fire of longing, The slow stirring of what it means to love and to lose.”

“Grief does not leave us; It becomes part of the soul’s architecture, a quiet gold vein running through stone. It is the beauty in the cracks, The light that seeps through where we thought we were broken.”

“Gamache could almost see the inevitable horsemen on the hill, above Hazel, snorting and pounding the ground, straining to be released. They brought the end of everything Hazel knew, all that was familiar and predictable. This contained woman was courageously holding off the marauding army of grief, but soon it would break free and sweep down and over her, and nothing familiar would be left standing.”
