Nora McInerny Purmort Quote: “The thing is, it is easier for me than it is for some people. I know that even though I miscarried a baby and my dad and husband died a few weeks later, I’m a privileged person. Even grief is a privilege.

Nora McInerny Purmort Quote: “Bryce had the same reasons for not being there that everyone who wasn’t there had: they didn’t want to ruin their memories of him, they didn’t want to be sad, they were scared, they didn’t know what to do.

Nora McInerny Purmort Quote: “I’m not stronger than anybody. I mean, physically, I can do three pull-ups, so I’m stronger than some people, but emotionally, I’m the same as anyone else.

And lucky for us, it’s a tenacious little thing that bounces back from atrophy as soon as you need to flex it.”
