"That's what grief does.  In the beginning it's always there.  You wake up and it's there.  It's with you all day, everywhere you go.  It's with you in the evening; it won't leave you alone at night.  It grabs you by the throat and shakes you.  But it keeps you warm.  One day it might go, but not forever.  It drops by from time to time.  And then, eventually...all of a sudden I knew what was important.  Grief showed me.  Love is important."

"Did you know there's a halfway time between each ending and each new beginning?  It's called the hurting time."
