Sample Book Insights:

#1 Grief is like fear. It feels like being afraid, but for different reasons. It is difficult to take in what others say, and it is hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting. Yet I want the others to be about me.

#2 Marriage has done wonders for me. I can never again believe that religion is manufactured out of our unconscious, starved desires and is a substitute for sex. I know now that God is absent when we need him the most because he is absent - non-existent.

#3 I began to see that respect for the wishes of the dead is a trap. I cannot talk to the children about their mother, and they look as if I am committing an indecency. I am an embarrassment to everyone I meet.

#4 The end of H. ’s life was the beginning of mine. We were separated by death, and by the fact that we were both dying of cancer. But we had been torn apart by time and space and body, which had brought us together.
