Quotable

"Tears bathe my cheeks every day. I feel lonely and that it's better to die than to be alive. I stay home alone all day long and only go out in the evening when there is little chance of meeting an acquaintance. Except family members, I see and talk to almost nobody. I'm worried that I don't know how to respond when friends ask where my little granddaughter is."
