" They want you to be the old August or the guy we used to know, but you’re not that person anymore. When you lose someone you love, something in you changes. You can’t get the pieces to fit together again because the picture of you has been changed. They need to understand your pain and how it changed you before they can understand how the new you needs to be loved. "
