{"quotes":[{"text":"In some aspects losing a child is like a wall, but instead of getting over it, you must carry the wall with you, wherever you go, for as long as you live.The wall is immovable.You can’t go anywhere until you learn to move the wall.You are just stuck in the same place, forever.You can tug and tug all you want, there are days that the wall will not move.And there are days that it moves ever so slightly.Over time I have realized that in order to move forward, knowing that I must bring this wall with me, that the best way to do so is to metaphorically flood the soil near the wall with water, and have the wall float with me, instead of me having to carry it.Every act of love and kindness turns to water.Water and love can penetrate and move anything.It just takes time. I need to turn my wall into a raft.","author":"JohnA Passaro","tags":["grief","inspiration","loss-of-a-child","love","motivation"],"id":1199,"author_id":"JohnA+Passaro"},{"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":"Loss is like a wind, it either carries you to a new destination or it traps you in an ocean of stagnation.

I watched as Jeremy, who seemed to speak Jacob’s silent language fluently, drummed his fingers up and down on the edge of the table, as if playing a piano. A delighted Jacob mimicked the actor’s actions. My throat filled with tears. I met Ben’s eyes across the table, where he sat straight with pride next to his son. He was enjoying the show just as much as I was. Jacob was in his element, interacting with an actor from his favorite movie. The other men at the table were part of the set: Mike, the owner of the comic book store, who had made the entire thing possible, and the Mandalorin Mercs, new friends of the little boy who hadbecome one of their own, a comrade in distress.","author":"Mary Potter Kenyon","tags":["cancer","grief","loss","loss-of-a-child","star-wars"],"id":110964,"author_id":"Mary+Potter+Kenyon"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":30,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
