“Faith would get her through when she had to face tomorrow, but her grief needed the tears to fall. There was healing in those tears.”

“She would wonder what had hurt her when she found her face wet with tears, and then would wonder how she could have been hurt without knowing it.”

“She cried so hard her tears formed a river, and tears of grief always run into the river Styx.”

Catelyn wondered how large a waterfall her own tears would make when she died.”
