Those living with grief know the particular sleeplessness it engenders -- so nonnegotiable, so immune to warm milk and narcotics. Typical insomnia has an apologetic feel, like it doesn't want to be here any more than you do. Like it knows you have a big day tomorrow but can't help itself. Grief insomnia has a mouth on it: Time does not heal all wounds. Time does not heal any wounds. Who promised you that? Get your money back.
-- Sloane Crosley, Grief Is for People, p. 154
