Sylvia Plath, from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

"You know, a long time ago, I lost my favorite sister.

Cecile.

In an airplane crash.

I learned then what grief was.

True grief.

How it moves through the body.

How it inhabits it.

How it becomes part of your skin.

Your cells.

And it makes a home there.

A permanent home.

But you learn to live with it.

And you will be happy again.

Though never in the same way as before, but...

But that's the point. Hmm?

To keep finding... new ways."

"I sit with my grief. I mother it. I hold its small, hot hand. I don’t say, shhh. I don’t say, it is okay. I wait until it is done having feelings. Then we stand and we go wash the dishes. We crack open bedroom doors, step over the creaks, and kiss the children. We are sore from this grief, like we’ve returned from a run, like we are training for a marathon. I’m with you all the way, says my grief, whispering, and then we splash our face with water and stretch, one big shadow and one small."

— Callista Buchen, Taking Care
