• Becca : Does it ever go away?

  Nat : No, I don't think it does. Not for me, it hasn't - has gone on for eleven years. But it changes though.

  Becca : How?

  Nat : I don't know... the weight of it, I guess. At some point, it becomes bearable. It turns into something that you can crawl out from under and... carry around like a brick in your pocket.

• Nat : You know, Becca, when your brother died, I found the church very helpful.
