Quotes by Jill Bialosky  (?)

“We do not want to comprehend that people may and do die of emotional pain, or to recognize the terror in ourselves when we cannot seem to help someone in despair -- when our words are empty.”
Jill Bialosky, History of a Suicide: My Sister's Unfinished Life

“To get through the night, I sometimes imagined the sky filled with a canopy of stars. I imagined that each star contained the soul of a girl or boy who had died too young, and the light the stars gave off was their brightness.”
Jill Bialosky, History of a Suicide: My Sister's Unfinished Life

“Suicides do not end their lives because they are weak, mentally ill, or depressed - though certainly they may be all those things. They are in blinding, all-consuming psychic pain, and perhaps on that final poisonous day they can find no reason not to.”
Jill Bialosky, History of a Suicide: My Sister's Unfinished Life
