Lavender Blue (Blue Hollow Falls #3) QUOTES

1 " Life Warriors. They would pay tribute to their loved ones rather than mourn them, by being bringers of light, of positive thinking, the spreaders of joy. Ch. 1, pg. 18, Lavender Blue by Donna Kauffman "

2 " The Thing is, sometimes, they [memories of loved ones] just stay sealed up, as fresh as they were when we put them there. You can go on getting by for a very long time, with those things boxed up and forgotten, and all is well. Then something comes along and jerks them out of that cubbyhole, rips off the lid, and there they are, just as fresh and alive and powerful as they were the day you stuck them there. That's the downside, the risk of not dealing with stuff when it happens. Because you can't always know which ones will die, and which ones won't, until they get sprung on you, anda knock your world sideways all over again." Addie Pearl, Ch. 5, pg. 73-74 "

3 " You have to let yourself feel it, and find new ways to think about what you're feeling, so you'll eventually be able to recall past events in the context of what they meant to you then...I started trying to live through the avalanche of memories that seemed to bombard me every waking minute of every single day from his [her son Liam] perspective, not mine. ...Instead of seeing through my sad, grieving lens, I started looking at life through his. How much joy he'd taken...remembering all the good and wonderful things he was. Honoring that, honoring who he was, instead of honoring my grief, my loss." Hannah, Ch. 10, pgs. 148-149 "
