Losing me will hurt; it will be the kind of pain that won't feel real at first, and when it does, it will take her breath away.

Adam is crying and somewhere inside of me I am crying, too, because I'm feeling things at last. I'm feeling not just the physical pain, but all that I have lost, and it is profound and catastrophic and will leave a crater in me that nothing will ever fill.
Gayle FormanHow can I judge?" she said at last. "To me, he is a hero. To the world a monster." She let her head fall into her arms and started crying quietly. "I miss him! Curse him! I miss him!"

She would not miss him as she did now, when the ache of his absence was her unremitting companion--like the phantom pain of an amputee.
