"long is the way and hard, that out of hell leads up to light." --John Milton, "Paradise Lost"
Ran across it while browsing a very old friend's blog that I'm pretty sure they don't remember owning or they'd probably take it down.
“Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.”
Joan Didion observed this disorienting fact in her classic memoir of loss : “Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.” And when it does come, it unweaves the very fabric of our being. When love is lost, we lose the part of ourselves that did the loving — a part that, depending on the magnitude of the love, can come to approximate the whole of who we are. I have been missing my father very much lately, and this quote really touched me.

Hey, thanks for this comment. That was cool of you. I'm really sorry that I had to moderate it, but if I don't then the comment section would be full of links to porn, pills, and some other just awful things. I'll approve your comment if it's legitimate (but no judgment on what you say, personally - I'll be as unbiased as humanly possible.)
Thanks for visiting my blog, Strange Night Words where I share random sentences that are odd, mean more than they appear to mean, funny, depressing, or sometimes even educational!
