Quotes 

• [at a meeting for relatives of addicts] 

  Rose : I... I had a rough week. Some of you know, some of you don't: I, um... I lost my Frances this week. She died of an overdose on Sunday. So... I guess I'm in mourning. But I - I - I realized something else: I've actually been in mourning for years. 'Cause even when she was alive, she... she wasn't there. When you mourn the living, that's a hard way to live. And so, in... in a way, it, it's... it's better, I guess. She was a dear, dear young woman. I always felt... I needed to... to stay strong, that there'd be some future event, and I'd... I'd need all my strength for it. But there are no events after this one. I hope she's not in pain now. Bye, Frances.
