“How I Shed My Skin is, simply put, a brilliant book. While I was reading, I kept thinking two things. One, this is totally shocking. Two, it's not at all shocking, but a familiar part of my life and memory.

“Grief is like the wake behind a boat. It starts out as a huge wave that follows close behind you and is big enough to swamp and drown you if you suddenly stop moving forward. But if you do keep moving, the big wake will eventually dissipate. And after a long time, the waters of your life get calm again, and that is when the memories of those who have left begin to shine as bright and as enduring as the stars above.” IfsLongEnoughBigsMovingLeftStarsWaterMemoriesGriefBehindsHugeLong TimeShiningEndureCalmWaveMoving ForwardBoatKeep MovingBehind YouSwamps Author:Jimmy Buffett
