{"quotes":[{"text":"Death pulls people from our spaces so often and we accept it as our final payment for having been here and having lived, however big or small. We don’t always have time to notice how things have changed in the absence of some of them. But then death pulls away someone we love, and we find that time. In here, we notice everything; growing grass and fingernails, and songs that end in a minor key. We are too sad to do anything else but watch a clock, applying seconds, minutes, and hours to the trauma and the lacerations. Time, the forever healer, they say. We find the time to wonder how everyone else is moving on, around our paralyzed selves. Ourselves unsure of roads and trees and birds and things. It all blurs and words aren’t words anymore. We find the time to attempt to figure a way to rethink everything we thought about this world and why we came to it.","author":"Darnell Lamont Walker","tags":["death","death-and-love","death-of-a-child","death-of-a-loved-one","dying"],"id":6314,"author_id":"Darnell+Lamont+Walker"},{"text":"The only way to get over a death is by seeing it as a life completed, instead of a life interrupted.","author":"Anonymous","tags":["dead-death","death","death-and-dying","death-and-love","death-of-a-loved-one","life","trauma"],"id":17277,"author_id":"Anonymous"},{"text":"Death is a misery.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["death","death-and-dying","death-and-love","death-and-sickness"],"id":23083,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Help me to understand, what my grief has prevented me from seeing - within.","author":"Eleesha","tags":["affirmations","channeling","death","death-and-dying","death-and-love","death-of-a-loved-one","empowerment","healing-after-loss","inspirational","motivational","quotes","soul"],"id":33232,"author_id":"Eleesha"},{"text":"The sorrow we feel when we lose a loved one is the price we pay to have had them in our lives.","author":"Rob Liano","tags":["death","death-and-dying","death-and-love","death-note","death-of-a-child","death-of-a-loved-one","grieve","grieving","inspiration","life","life-lessons","life-philosophy","loss","loss-of-a-child","loss-of-family","love","mourning","sorrow","sorrowful"],"id":35381,"author_id":"Rob+Liano"},{"text":"Façade. One, simple word. But, very complex portents. It’s like living a life of half-dead. You are neither fully inside a grave, nor completely out of it, beyond the oppressive calmness of the slabs, tombstones and plaques. There is one solace though, you soon discover that you are not alone in the vast graveyard of the half-dead. This is what Kamini soon realized when she plunged herself back into the world that the destiny had conspired her to inherit.","author":"Vinod Pande","tags":["death-and-love","destiny","facade","grave","half-dead","sombre"],"id":35790,"author_id":"Vinod+Pande"},{"text":"Death is our friend, precisely because it brings us into absolute and passionate presence with all that is here, that is natural, that is love.","author":"Rainer Maria Rilke","tags":["death","death-and-dying","death-and-love"],"id":37495,"author_id":"Rainer+Maria+Rilke"},{"text":"As I witness the dead of beloved ones, it makes be become more conscious that life indeed has an end.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["advice-for-daily-living","advice","awarness","christian-living","christian","conscience","dead-souls","death-and-dying","death-and-love","death","die","end-of-days","endings","grave-mercy","graveyard-book","inspiring-thoughts","life-and-death","life-and-death-life","life-and-living","life","positive-motivation","religion","wisdom","wise"],"id":40954,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Memories is all that you have, which help you survive the storms and struggles of your daily life after you lose someone!","author":"Nikita Dudani","tags":["death-and-love","death-of-a-loved-one","loss","loss-of-family","loss-of-love","memories","memories-with-mom"],"id":53108,"author_id":"Nikita+Dudani"},{"text":"What will be your death note?","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["death-and-love","death-note","dying-last-words","dying-well","dying-words","fate","fate-destiny","inspirational","life-and-death","life-and-living","life","purpose-driven-life","wisdom-inspirational","wisdom","wise","your","your-journey-of-life","yourself"],"id":63483,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":48,"pages":5,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
