You are alone. There is a wall now where none existed before, standing between you and the rest of the world.

We’re expected to go back to work immediately, keep moving, to get on with our lives. But it doesn’t work that way. We need time to move through the pain of loss. We need to step into it, really to get to know it, in order to learn

Simple people with less education, sophistication, social ties, and professional obligations seem in general to have somewhat less difficulty in facing this final crisis than people of affluence who lose a great deal more in terms of material luxuries, comfort, and number of interpersonal relationships.

The immense sums that such treatments and hospitalizations cost in recent years have forced many patients to sell the only possessions they had; they were unable to keep a house which they built for their old age, unable to send a child through college, and unable perhaps to make many dreams come true.

Todas las teorías y toda la ciencia del mundo no pueden ayudar a nadie tanto como un ser humano que no teme abrir su corazón a otro.

However healthy you think you are, remember that vegetarians die too.
