“Greta was the victim of an accident. An accident happened. I have to learn to state this grievously unacceptable information over and over again. In every interaction, I am the messenger for a rip in the universe, a talisman that carries the message 'all will not be well' with me into every new room. I am the reminder of the most unwelcome message in human history: Children - yours, mine - they don't necessarily live."

— Jayson Greene: Once More We Saw Stars: A Memoir of Life and Love After Unimaginable Loss.

“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
~ Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude
