Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
-- Norman Cousins

Some say that dying is the most painful thing in the world. That no matter how long you live, you will never find another pain like it. They say it burns in you while you wait for your heart to stop beating. While you watch everyone you love suffer because of you. They say you see who you truly are and who you were meant to be. Everything you know that you are not.

Others say that dying is the easiest. That it is painless and sets your soul free. That you see your life flash before your eyes and you will no longer have any regrets. There are no more unanswered questions and no more unrequited love. You will know your heart and it will set you free. Some even go as far as to say that dying can mend a broken heart.

How very wrong everyone is...

Death is not the most painful thing that ever happened to me and neither was it the easiest. It didn't set my soul free and didn't answer all my questions. Unrequited love and a broken heart is still something that I have to live with everyday.

No, death is not the most painful, falling in love is. Death is not the easiest, falling in love is.

I might not have died from my broken heart but I did die after my heart was broken.

My name is Isabella Marie Swan, and this is the story of how I died.
