Thinking of departed friends is to me something sweet and mellow. For when I had them with me it was with the feeling that I was going to lose them, and now that I have lost them I keep the feeling that I have them with me still.
Seneca • Letters from a Stoic: Epistulae Morales Ad Lucilium (Classics S.)
‘Iron and steel may pass away, but our love shall abide for ever.’
Dietrich Bonhoeffer • Letters Papers From Prison
The hardest part for me, I think, or at least for now until some new phase of grief takes over, is that I have so many inside jokes that I can’t quite remember, and the only person who knew the other part of the joke isn’t there anymore.
Cecily Strong • This Will All Be Over Soon: A Memoir
“As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on—in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.”
Mitch Albom • Tuesdays With Morrie
