Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes

We Were Talking The Other Evening About The Phrases One Uses When Trying To Comfort Someone Who Is In Distress. I Told Him That In English We Sometimes Say, 'I've Been There.' This Was Unclear To Him At First-I've Been Where? But I Explained That Deep Grief Sometimes Is Almost Like A Specific Loacation, A Coordinate On A Map Of Time. When You Are Standing In That Forest Of Sorrow, You Cannot Imagine That You Could Ever Find Your Way To A Better Place. But If Someone Can Assure You That They Themselves Have Stood In That Same Place, And Now Have Moved On, Sometimes This Will Bring Hope.
'So Sadness Is A Place?' Giovanni Asked.
'Sometimes People Live There For Years,' I Said.
