Ann Hood Quotes
On April 18, 1906, When That Earthquake Hit San Francisco And Took David From Her, Vivien Began To Speak The Language Of Grief. She Understood That Grief Is Not Neat And Orderly; It Does Not Follow Any Rules. Time Does Not Heal It. Rather, Time Insists On Passing, And As It Does, Grief Changes But Does Not Go Away. Sometimes She Could Actually Visualize Her Grief. It Was A Wave, A Tsunami That Came Unexpectedly And Swept Her Away. She Could See It, A Wall Of Pain That Had Grabbed Hold Of Her And Pulled Her Under. Some Days, She Could Reach The Air And Breathe In Huge Comforting Gulps. Some Days She Barely Broke The Surface, And Still, After All This Time, Some Days It Consumed Her And She Wondered If There Was Any Way Free Of It.
