"Heaven must be a wonderful place now that you are there...because I know the world is a lot less beautiful ... without you by my side." - Sara
"If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again. No fairwell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness, and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know."
"For the first time heaven seemed insane. Because heaven was to blame, for taking you away."
"I am going to have to get out of bed every morning, and live every day with your image etched into my memory. Every time I close my eyes I will see your face, every time the room gets so silent you can hear a pin drop your voice will come to me. Every time I blink away the tears, your arms will enclose me. Every time I pray I will send kisses up to heaven for you. My only wish is that I didn't have to live here with you there.."
"Your kisses, your heavenly touch will keep me from letting go of your loss. I will always remember your gentle words. Love lasts forever."
"When you lose someone you love, you never get over it. You just get used to it."
"Death is not the opposite of life, it is a part of life. A part we've not yet explored and thus do not understand and it if only natural to fear what we do not understand. But with the right attitude we can make life beautiful. With this same attitude, can death not be the same?"
"We attach ourselves so strongly to people that when they're gone, a part of us is gone too."
"Everything changes eventually, that's just the way life is and you have no control over it.. like, suddenly, people who you think are always going to be there.. they disappear.. you know, people die and they move away.. and they grow up."
"My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know."
"When I look back to the beginning I think of your smile. I think of how for a moment life was worthwhile. I think of the way you held my hand, kissed me softly, and could always understand. I think of the day you looked at me and our eyes met. These are the things I'll never forget. But now when I see my reflection and I look into my own eyes, I think of how I lost you. How we lost each other. I know one day you'll be breaking hearts in Heaven, but what can I do now that you've broken mine?"
"'You'll get over it'. It's the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The articulation of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is the shape of you and no one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?" - Jeanette Winterson
"When someone you love dies, and you're not expecting it, you don't lose them all at once; you lose them in pieces over a long time - the way the mail stops coming - and their scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in their closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of them that are gone. Just when the day comes, when there's a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feelings that they're gone forever, there comes another day, and another specifically missing part."
"When someone is gone from your life for a really long time, you start to forget stuff about them. Like, you forget what their voice sounded like … and ho they loved you so much … and how everything you did was completely okay with them." - Party of Five
"Why do I have to say goodbye why does it have to be her? Why does it have to be now? What am I supposed to learn? That death hurts? I know it does ... I know that it's never going to be the same. I can learn that lesson without losing her, God, please don't take her away. There is not too much in this world that means anything to me right now, but without her I am going to stop caring ... my heart is going to break when hers stops ... and I am not going to be able to go on ... I am not going to be able to smile once she is gone."
"It's never going to get easier. There is never going to be a 'Death for Dummies' book. There is never going to be an escape plan to pain because no matter how much I try no matter how much I cry my life is never going to go back to the way it used to be, because I know I can't just shut the door to your bedroom and hope everything disappears. I know that I can't stop myself from hoping that you will one day walk in the front door and smile as if nothing happened. I know that there will be days that it will be hard to get out of bed and look people in the eye and lie when they ask how I am. I know that its going to hurt for the rest of my life and that I will always cry, but I also know that you're in heaven now and your away from all of the pain and everything is better for you now. I just wish I could say the same for me."
"When something comes along in my life that's too good to be true, I look inside my heart and know it's because of you. When a smile shows up for no reason at all. Or when a tear of joy just happens to fall, I smile, for I know you are near. Your sweet calming words I still hear. I wish I could hold you in my arms, but I no longer can, you are now an angel, following God's plan. And although it's always extremely sad to lose someone you love, I find comfort in knowing you watch over me….from heaven above." - Jamie Freeman
"When someone dies young it's like they stay that way forever." - My So-Called Life
"When my time comes, scatter my ashes in the mountains, have a drink, tell yourselves, 'She lived well...She had a few laughs.'" - Summer Sisters by Judy Blume
"I see you in my memory, as vivid as today and I wonder if you see me in that same familiar way. Oh another place, another time, we'll meet again and you'll be mine, cause nothing compares to you and I. Wasn't it true? Do you remember like I do, or is it all tainted in your view? Could I be just a dream or two away from you?"
"my knees get weak, my voice escapes me and i am left here standing before you wondering why it had to be you...imagining what we would be doing if you weren't set before me..ever so pale..ever so different.. ever so cold...maybe we'd be watching a movie..maybe we'd be out to dinner..or maybe we would just be holding hands walking down the street, but we aren't..i am here standing before you with my weak knees, wondering when i am going to be able to hold your hand again.."
"There are just certing things that remind me of you... words.. clothes.. prayers.. people...i am reminded of how much you mean to me how much i just want to throw my arms around you and make it all better...i often sit and wonder how its going to be when your not here for me to be reminded of..will i be ok? will i be able to stand on my own? or will my heart break into a million pieces? will i be left sitting on the floor with my arms wrapped around my knees..praying that i will be ok? praying that God has taken you to a better place...praying that someday i will be again able to stand on my own.."
"I pray for you every second of every minute of every day...but it seems as if no one is listening..no one can see what is going on in my mind..no one can tell i am dying too...when i was little and we were apart you would tell me to say good night to the moon, and the moon would tell you..i just wish that who ever is listening to me would tell you how much you mean to me, how much it hurts me inside to see you like this..and how much i want to make it all better...but i can't..i can't do anything...it feels as if i am being held under water and no one is going to save me.."
"We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance." - Marcel Proust

"I still think of you day in and day out...I still wake up at night with a cold sweat on my skin from a dream about you...I still get lost in my thoughts of you..I still look around when someone calls your name...I still feel the tears in my eyes when mail comes for you...I still turn down all the lights at night and cry for you..only for you.."
"If only I could hear your voice one more time...guiding me through... my shining light.. maybe that would stop my tears... maybe if I could just see your face.. my heart would stop its grieving.. maybe if I could just let you know I love you..one more time... that would keep my mind at ease.. maybe if.. I had told you one more time how much you mean to me.. how much I look up to you..how scared I am going to be without you...you would haven't had left... maybe if.."
"So you're gone and I know you had me promise I wouldn't cry, and I'm sorry. I know you're never coming back and I may never see you again, and well, it hurts. It hurts beyond imagination. And I thought I could handle it, but I can't. I want to reach out and touch you -- kiss you -- but you're not there. I would have given anything to tell you, 'I love you' one last time. But it wouldn't have changed anything. I despise fate." - Joanne Golden
"i think about how much i miss him and start to feel sorry for myself, but then i think about everyone who didn't know him, and i start to feel sorry for them."
"sometimes they take people, and they don't say why, sometimes people leave and never say goodbye, sometimes there are no second chances to say i love you, sometimes there are no next times, sometimes you lose someone and you feel like your heart has followed them to heaven, sometimes there is just nothing you can do to make the tears stop."

"Can you imagine what it feels like to have someone sit you down and tell you that you're dying? The gravity of that, hmm? Then the clock's ticking for you. In a split second your awe is cracked open. You look at things differently - smell things differently. You savor everything be it a glass of water or a walk in the park. But most people have the luxury of not knowing when that clock's going to go off. And the irony of it is that that keeps them from really living their life. It keeps them drinking that glass of water but never really tasting it."
