“I grabbed Aunt Prue's tiny hand, her fingers as small as bare twigs in winter. I closed my eyes and took her other hand, twisting my strong fingers together with her frail ones. I rested my forehead against our hands and closed my eyes. I imagined lifting my head up and seeing her smiling, the tape and tubes gone. I wondered if wishing was the same thing as praying. If hoping for something badly enough could make it happen.” IfsEnoughHandsHappensEyeTogetherStrongWishGoneSeeingPrayingFingersWinterTinyTapeAuntLiftingForeheadsMake It HappenTubesFrailHeads UpTwigsHoping For SomethingTiny Hands Author:Kami Garcia

“The English language lacks the words 'to mourn an absence.' For the loss of a parent, grandparent, spouse, child or friend we have all manner of words and phrases, some helpful, some not. Still, we are conditioned to say something, even if it is only 'I am sorry for your loss.' But for an absence, for someone who was never there at all, we are wordless to capture that particular emptiness. For those who deeply want children and are denied them, those missing babies hover like silent, ephemeral shadows over their lives. Who can describe the feel of a tiny hand that is never held?” IfsWantFeelsChildrenStillsHandsLanguageParentLossMissingParticularBabyShadowSilentSorryAbsenceTinyPhrasesEmptinessHelpfulCaptureDeniedGrandparentSpouseEnglish LanguageMournEphemeralI Am SorryAm SorryYour LossLoss Of A ParentTiny Hands Book:Spoken from the Heart Source: Spoken from the Heart
