![“When [our secrets] are sad and hurtful secrets, like my father's death, we can in a way honor the hurt by letting ourselves feel it as we never let ourselves feel it before, and then, having felt it, by laying it aside; we can start to take care of ourselves the way we take care of people we love.” quote by Frederick Buechner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a6a/frederick-buechner-883_care_when-our-secrets-are-sad-and-hurtful-sec_2037703.jpg)
