“Apparently, people leave you for two reasons:

“Today will be different. Perhaps the only way to cope with loss, or guilt, is to name it and defy its potential to destroy you...

“I’m not like this every day. Most of the time, I have my traumas buried six feet under, smothered by newer, brighter memories.

“You already went through that. You lost someone you loved, and you kept getting out of bed. You were there for the people in your life, and you love them, and they love you back. You’ve got all of that in your life still. None of it went away. It didn’t end just because you lost one person.”
