"You will lose someone
you can’t live without,
and your heart
will be badly broken,
and the bad news is
that you never completely
get over the loss
of your beloved.
But
this is also the good news.
They live forever
in your broken heart
that doesn’t seal back up.
And you come through.
It’s like having a broken leg
that never heals perfectly
—that still hurts
when the weather gets cold,
but
you learn to dance
with the limp."
— Anne Lamott
