1 " There's extra suffering when someone you love dies by their own hand. The ones left breathing got to find their own way to survive and make it through living still. "
― Sandi Morgan Denkers , Waiting in Deep
2 " This is my story.Death tried to kill it;Grief tried to drown it;Pride tried to erase it;Pain tried to hide it;butDeep saved it.My story grew words while waiting in Deep and now my words have wings to fly. Lottie Johnson, age 96 "
3 " It's funny how you can remember special things about a person. It's Mama's hands I remember. When I was little and she'd dress me, her hands would be all up under my chin fastnin up my shirt. I'd smell the Clorox. I hated it because it made the inside of my nose burn. She said it didn't bother her and maybe one day I'd get used to it. Sometimes now, I run a little water in the sink. Then I add some Clorox and let my hands splash around in it. And then I smell. Long, deep breaths. I smell Mama. "
4 " Deep is where your soul waits while you live like nothing terrible happened. "
5 " Death is awful fierce. After it cuts those still living into little pieces, grief comes along to watch them bleed. "
