“Right now I want a word that describes the feeling you get - a cold, sick feeling deep down inside - when you know something is happening that will change you, and you don’t want it to, but you can’t stop it. And you know, for the first time, for the very first time, that there will now be a before and an after, a was and a will be. And that you will never again be quite the person you were.” - Jennifer Donnelly

Wow. That describes it so well.
Perfect!
Love this, so true. Most of the time I think in terms of before Harper and after Harper...it sucks that the difference isn't sleepless nights, spit up stained clothing, and more happiness than I could ever imagine but sorrow and longing instead. ((hugs))
The person I was before Drew seems like a distant memory. He changed me in ways I never could have imagined, first in life and then in death. I love this quote...there truly isn't a sufficient word to describe the deep change that happens after loss.
