― Jael McHenry, The Kitchen Daughter

“Most parents are not really 鈥榮upportive鈥� because they want their kid(s) to succeed; they 鈥榮upport鈥� their kid(s) as an attempt to avoid appearing to have bred a failure, or, failures 鈥� in the eyes of their peers and/or neighbours.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“There is a predictable theme as to what upsets our matriarchs. Usually, matriarchs are known for their unified support. When it comes to kingdom matters, however, they are willing to drive out Abraham's son. (Ge 21:10) They are willing to reject Isaac's son. (Ge 27:6-13) In other words, they are not afraid to reject royalty ('shepherd-like acquaintances') to further God's kingdom goals. (Re 20:4-6)”
― Michael Ben Zehabe, Song of Songs: The Book for Daughters

“As a therapist, I have many avenues in which to learn about DID, but I hear exactly the opposite from clients and others who are struggling to understand their own existence. When I talk to them about the need to let supportive people into their lives, I always get a variation of the same answer. "It is not safe. They won't understand." My goal here is to provide a small piece of that gigantic puzzle of understanding. If this book helps someone with DID start a conversation with a supportive friend or family member, understanding will be increased.”
― Deborah Bray Haddock, The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook

“The intense roller coaster of emotions will gradually lesson over time. But there is no timeframe for the grieving process, and it will not be rushed, no matter how fast you'd like to "get over it." The reality is that there is no getting over it; you can only walk through it.”
― Elizabeth Berrien, Creative Grieving: A Hip Chick's Path from Loss to Hope

“My dad encouraged me to quit my job and pursue the life that I am about to have. He got excited with me. He was the first one to tell me that I could do it. I am 30 years old, and I still find great power in my own dad telling me it鈥檚 possible.

I still find great power in my own dad telling me I can do it.”
― Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing: The Best of Year One

“I began to recognize that there was a part of me that was stronger than I ever could have imagined. I didn't know how I was still standing. I surprised myself. I was waking up to the fact that I was in charge of my own life and it was my choice whether to sink or float.”
― Elizabeth Berrien, Creative Grieving: A Hip Chick's Path from Loss to Hope

“Losing your parent at a tender age is like losing everything thing. The love, care, support and what have you. It only takes determination, strong will and the love, care and support from others to make a difference in the lives of these ones as they grow to face their future. You and I can impact in their lives...Just a little love, a little care, a little support can make a huge difference in a child's life. Support an orphan today!”
― Oziohu Sanni

“Remember to view yourself and your humanness with a kind heart.”
― Elizabeth Berrien, Creative Grieving: A Hip Chick's Path from Loss to Hope

“Everything assumes a different intensity when you are feeling the pain of loss. Be prepared. A minor annoyance that you might once have managed with a shrug now becomes a nuclear crisis! You are no doubt going to do things perfectly imperfectly. That is part of our path as humans. Forget about striving for perfection while dealing with grief! If you beat yourself up every time you forget something, have a breakdown, or don't do something correctly then you're going to end up very black and blue. I guarantee you won't want to look in the mirror! So be kinder and more patient with yourself.”
― Elizabeth Berrien, Creative Grieving: A Hip Chick's Path from Loss to Hope

“Black(people) hold onto their God just as the drunken man holds on to the street lamp post鈥攆or physical support only.”
― Tai Solarin

“And I think, OK. So a dog isn't the most important thing. But a dog like Honey loves one person completely, unwaveringly, with perfect faith. That has to be more important than most things.
And Gabriel, I say. He has Gabriel too.
Gil says nothing but I know the answer. The answer is that Gabriel can't save Matthew any more than Gil can, or Honey. Or Jake. But we are all woven together, like a piece of cloth, and we all support each other, for better or worse. Gabriel is just a baby but eventually he will see the world and his father as they are: imperfect, dangerous, peppered with betrayals and also with love.”
― Meg Rosoff, Picture Me Gone

“Journeying through grief is one of the most "normal human" experiences you can have. Nevertheless, all too frequently the heartbroken seem to feel alienated by society. Unfortunately in our culture, we are taught to hold our feelings in. If someone asks us, "How are you doing today?" the expected answer is, "I'm okay." But what if you aren't okay? You obviously don't want to go into a monologue of why you're not okay, but sometimes you feel as if you're going to explode if you can't "tell off" that well-meaning person for even daring to ask you such a thing in the first place!”
― Elizabeth Berrien, Creative Grieving: A Hip Chick's Path from Loss to Hope

“In the first year of my grief, there were times when I felt like hiding my personal story of loss and other times when I wanted to wear a sign on my body that read "Be nice to me, I'm grieving," or "Don't tick me off; I've already got the world on my shoulders," or maybe even "BEWARE - don't upset the widow!" I needed a variety of signs that I could switch out depending on my daily mood.”
― Elizabeth Berrien, Creative Grieving: A Hip Chick's Path from Loss to Hope

“And now here was Arabella, making him feel worse. Maybe that was what she always did; maybe she always made him feel worse, and he'd never really noticed before. Maybe what seemed like the ordinary rough-and-tumble of marriage, combined with hard work and London, was something simpler: the fact that added to any equation, Arabella made it worse.”
― John Lanchester, Capital

“reach for the stars because even if you fall there are always the clouds to catch you”
― Ella Corbett

“It is important to recognize when you have been detached from life for too long. The fact is you are still alive, and I can only imagine that your loved one would want you to go on living. I highly doubt they would have said to you, "When or if I die before you, I want you to spend the rest of your life sitting on a couch staring at the wall. Please fulfill this important task for me.”
― Elizabeth Berrien, Creative Grieving: A Hip Chick's Path from Loss to Hope

“Through career fumbles and life changes, she supported me. Through shattered dreams and hopes almost-realized, she supported me too.”
