"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
