Death and dying Quote by Anonymous
“The loss Of A Loved One Is Like The Loss Of A Part Of Oneself; An Arm Or A Leg. At First, The Pain Is So Physical That It Is Hard To Ignore. The Trauma Is So Intense That The mind Finds It Hard To Cope With The Loss. With Time The Pain Eases, The Body Recovers And The Brain Figures Out New Ways To Go On.”
