“As if you cope with loss by ingesting the dead person”

“A drug person can learn to cope with things like seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to handle this trip.”

“The first thing you have to learn when you go into the arts is to learn to cope with rejection. If you can’t, you’re dead”

“The only way to cope with something deadly serious is to try to treat it a little lightly.”

“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.”

“A broken heart isn't so much the loss of the person as it is the loss of your dreams with that person. ”
