I think grief and fear are going to come to him suddenly…

“I think grief and fear are going to come to him suddenly. They'll be undiluted and words won't work. We're all going to get hit and won't know how to hit back. I wish I knew the answers, how to help myself and the people who will hurt all around me.” quote by Kaui Hart Hemmings
