Grief is a creature with feathers.
Once upon a time there were two boys who purposefully misremembered things about their father.
I don't know how to do this without you.
I was never alone, but I was always lonely.
Grief is a love story told backwards.
I will never be ready to say goodbye.
The birds of sorrow are the ones to watch out for.
Sometimes I think someone is going to call Childline and take me away.
We can do things you know, we can make things.
I am the keeper of the family grief.
Grief is a wild thing.
The world is strange when you lose someone.
