I think the touching and the weird thing that people in grief have is that you look for that. You want to believe that stuff. That they’re out there, they’re with you, they’re still there. They’re watching you, they’re part of the world. – Randy Shropshire/Getty Images Maron	Found on CNN 1 year ago

I think, for far too long, Black Democrats have tried to ask folks that look like me to vote in one specific way, and if you don't, and if you express a difference of opinion or thought, then they recoil at that, and they give you a lot of grief on Twitter and other social media platforms, but I hope what I've demonstrated, whether in my time as running for attorney general and winning that race, or even now as I run for governor, is that here in Kentucky we don't care what you look like, we care about your values. – General Daniel Cameron	Found on FOX News 1 year ago

Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot.

Grief is just love with no place to go. – Jamie Anderson	added by Normando 1 year ago
There's a common belief that anyone can have a baby if they want it enough, hope enough, and never give up, it just isn't true, and leads to a lot of misunderstanding and dismissal of the grief you're left with when you realize you have to let go of your dream of parenthood. – Katy Seppi	Found on CNN 1 year ago
