Summary

This quote suggests that just like love, anger and jealousy do not want to let go of the things or people they are fixated on. It implies that these negative emotions are equally intense and gripping, leading individuals to cling onto their anger and jealousy as if they were love. This idea emphasizes how powerful these emotions can be, demonstrating that they can consume and dominate one's thoughts and actions in much the same way as love.

There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again. Whenever it rains you will think of her.

We all want to do something to mitigate the pain of loss or to turn grief into something positive, to find a silver lining in the clouds. But I believe there is real value in just standing there, being still, being sad.
