All items must be to them by Tuesday night, November 6.

ITEMS REQUESTED: Flashlights with batteries Blankets or sleeping bags Warm clothing, jackets, gloves, etc. All items can be new or gently used

Drop Off Location: Cutter Aviation Phoenix Sky Harbor Int’l Airport 2802 E. Old Tower Road Phoenix, AZ 85034-6000

The easiest way to get there is south on 24th St., past Buckeye until you see the signs for Cutter Aviation, which is an eastbound turn off of 24th St. Use the Bay Door on the right, ring buzzer to go through.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES

« ‹ 14 of 16 › »

She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.

— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

— C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am strong.

— January, founder of Birth Without Fear

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

— John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite.

— Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
