Quotes from Elreacy Dock:


  • "Do not shrink yourself down, and do not shrink your grief down to make the other people in the room comfortable."
  • "But the reality is, just because you lose your person doesn't mean that you don't want to talk about them anymore. You still love your person."
  • "I always tell people to take it a day at a time, but I say, if you can't take it a day at a time, then take it an hour at a time."
