Lexie: [narrating] Grief may be a thing we all have in common, but it looks different on everyone.
Mark: It isn't just death we have to grieve. It's life. It's loss. It's change.
Alex: And when we wonder why it has to suck so much sometimes, has to hurt so bad. The thing we gotta try to remember is that it can turn on a dime.

Bailey: Bargaining.
Lexie: Depression.
Richard: Acceptance.

Me: Did you want the font in cursive or something more simple?
Client: I want it in English.

We have, in fact, no right to ask the world to conform to our desires. Sooner or later, if we hope to grow up, we have to confront the opposite imperative: that our rights and the realisation of our desires are limited by human nature, by human community, and by the nature of the places in which we live.
