I knew I was getting bad again when every week I was just trying to “get through this week” I don’t know what’s wrong with me

If nothing else, one day you can look someone straight in the eyes and say ‘But I lived through it. And it made me who I am today.

For days, I’ve been plagued by this question: how do I honour my father’s legacy? Then I realized I honour it by taking what I’ve learned from how he lived his life, and having it shape the way I go on living mine.

Randall, This Is UsThis quote is so true to my life and what I’m going through right now!! (via sunshinegold) |
If you know someone who has…lost anybody who’s important to them, and you’re afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn’t forget they died. You’re not reminding them. What you’re reminding them of is that you remember that they lived, and that’s a great, great gift.

It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you’ve accepted that someone is out of your life, that you’ve grieved and it’s over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you’ve lost that person all over again.

When someone you love dies, people ask you how you’re doing, but they don’t really want to know. They seek affirmation that you’re okay, that you appreciate their concern, that life goes on and so can they. Secretly they wonder when the statute of limitations on asking expires (its three months, by the way. Written or unwritten, that’s about all the time it takes for people to forget the one thing that you never will).
