“Don't say mourning. It's too psychoanalytic. I'm not mourning. I'm suffering.” ― Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary: October 26, 1977–September 15, 1979

Suffering, like a stone . . . (around my neck, deep inside me)

"And then I notice that I am always asking for something, wanting something, always pulled ahead by childish Desire. One day, to sit in the same place, to close my eyes and ask for nothing. . . "

Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary

“Only I know what my road has been for the last year and a half: the economy of this motionless and anything but spectacular mourning that has kept me unceasingly separate by its demands; a separation that I have ultimately always projected to bring to a close by a book--Stubbornness, secrecy.” 

― Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary

Everyone is “extremely nice"—and yet I feel entirely alone.  ("Abandonitis”).

I have known the body of my mother, sick and then dying.
