An excerpt from Lost Lake, by Sarah Addison Allen:

“Eby knew all too well that there was a fine line when it came to grief.  If you ignore it, it goes away, but then it comes back when you least expect it.  If you let it stay, if you make a place for it in your life, it gets too comfortable and it never leaves.  It was best to treat grief like a guest.  You acknowledge it, you cater to it, then you send it on its way.”

Sorry to share yet another passage about grief, but I LOVE this!  In my experience, it is true.  I read this book last week and the passage just stayed with me.  My review will be up next week, at Chick Lit Plus.
