Nothing prepared me for the loss of my mother. Even knowing that she would die did not prepare me. A mother, after all, is your entry into the world. She is the shell in which you divide and become a life. Waking up in a world without her is like waking up in a world without sky: unimaginable. —Meghan O'Rourke in The Long Goodbye More about this quote Tags: life death loss mother Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
