21 " At the end of the day, someone took the monitor and speakers away. But the music was still there. This was my first understanding of grief. "
― Victoria Chang , Obit
22 " When a mother dies,a house becomes a forest.My children, children,know that I am in the trees.True love means you won’t find me. "
23 " Because dying lasts forever until it stops. "
24 " But maybe I am wrong, how death is simply death, each slightly different from the next but the final strike all the same. How the skin responds to a wedding dress in the same way it responds to rain. "
25 " A pioneering figure in the past, the future was the president of the present. You are sitting. But the future wants your chair. She is demanding. "
26 " The way grief is really about future absence. "
27 " This time gap can never be overcome. The difference is called grieving. "
28 " That darkness is not the absorption of color but the absorption of language. "
29 " The way grief is really about future absence. The way the future closes its offices when a mother dies. What's left: a hole in the ground the size of violence. "
