I think and talk of you so often that people don’t realize you are dead.

“But the plain fact of the matter is that, for any person to successfully lead others, he or she must deal with reality and be ready to accept the fact that leadership, at times, can bring out the worst in us.

Never tell a grieving person how they should feel. Let them express and feel their emotions. If it makes you uncomfortable, feel fortunate you haven’t had to go through it and be sympathetic. It’s their pain not yours. Telling someone who has lost a loved one that “things will get better” is not always comforting.You do not live their life and cannot predict their future.

The person I want the most, is the person I cannot have. Death had come between us and that separation is not fixable no matter how hard I bargain.
