regret grief kissing
She couldn’t read his expression. As he started toward her, she recalled the way he’d seemed to glide through the sand the first time she’d ever seen him; she remembered their kiss on the boat dock the night of his sister’s wedding. And she heard again the words she’d said to him on the day they’d said good-bye. She was besieged by a storm of conflicting emotions—desire, regret, longing, fear, grief, love. There was so much to say, yet what could they really begin to say in this awkward setting and with so much time already passed?
grief long different
He'd lived long enough to know that everyone handled grief in different ways, and little by little, they all seemed to accept their new lives.
grief forever want
Sometimes my grief is overwhelming, and even though I understand that we will never see each other again, there is a part of me that wants to hold on to you forever.
love grief grieving
Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face - I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself.
grief way helping
I knew it wasn't fair, I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help it. And after a while, the anger I felt just sort of became part of me, like it was the only way I knew how to handle the grief. I didn't like who I'd become, but I was stuck in this horrible cycle of questions and blame.
life lost-love grief
It's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems, and that in time, the grief . . . lessens. It may not go away completely, but after a while it's not so overwhelming.
notebook hurt grief
In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry I cry and when you hurt I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods to tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life
sad grief reality
Youth offers the promise of happiness, but life offers the realities of grief.
collapse ending good knew knowing novels poignant previous rest since time waste
I knew I wanted the ending of the story to be poignant and heart-felt, and secondly, because I didn't know if I would be able to do that, since my previous novels hadn't been good enough to publish. If I couldn't do it, I didn't want to waste my time writing the rest of the novel, knowing it would collapse at the end.
adapted best familiar knowing people
The best part of having a movie adapted is knowing that more people will become familiar with my work.
beauty cannot collection dreaming finding flowers learned life lived obvious poetry refreshing simply spent talking
I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.
based decision historical preference
I have no preference on writing in contemporary or historical periods-that decision is based on the story.
desire
I have no desire to write screenplays-at heart, I'm a novelist.
dream expect hope
You hope for the success, you dream about it, but you never expect it.
