grief loss past
I knew what it was like to lose someone you loved. You didn't get past something like that, you got through it.
doctors judging nurse
It's just like nurses in a hospital tend to know more than the doctors most of the time; if you really want to get the answers to a question about court, you should spend more time buttering up the clerks than the judges.
enough live-and-let-live
You live and let live, eventually that becomes enough.

You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control.

Does fate ever play by the rules?
ocean want drowning
There is a gulf as wide as an ocean between should and want, and I am drowning in it.
fitting things-to-do stills

true-love thinking three
Three months ago, if you asked me, I would have told you that if you really loved someone, you’d let them go. But now I look at you, and I dreamed about Maggie, and I see that I’ve been wrong. If you really love someone, Allie, I think you have to take them back.

There is a fine line between seeing something that's lost as missing, and seeing it as something that might be found.
