You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler (via wordsnquotes)

convivencia

(noun) An untranslatable Spanish word, convivencia literally means “coexisting.” But it possesses a deeper meaning, in the syntax of a relationship; it describes the harmony of living together, sharing intimacy, cohabitating in a space and the feeling of “getting used to” living with another human being, especially a romantic partner. The word captures both the struggle of living with someone else, as well as the harmony a couple achieves as one in a space like home. (via wordsnquotes)

“Nobody looks good in their darkest hours. But it’s those hours that make us what we are. We stand strong, or we cower. We emerge victorious, tempered by our trails, or fracture by a permanent, damning fault line.”

— Karen Marie Moning

“Because the world is so full of death and horror, I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell.”

— Hermann Hesse

Memory likes to play hide-and-seek, to crawl away. It tends to hold forth, to dress up, often needlessly. Memory contradicts itself; pedant that it is, it will have its way.

Günter Grass, Peeling the Onion (via wordsnquotes)
