“[Closure] is the false hope that we can deaden our living grief.”
Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life (Page 210)
“My experience is that closure is an extraordinarily compelling fantasy of mourning. It is the fiction that we can love, lose, suffer and then do something to permanently end our sorrow. We want to believe we can reach closure because grief can surprise and disorder us—even years after our loss.”
Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life (Page 209)
