First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Silvia. As an author and a deep believer in the power of language, I have curated this collection of quotes to help others navigate the complexities of life, especially those experiencing grief and loss. Having personally lost two of my children—one at birth and one at 25 to the complexities of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa—I am deeply committed to advocacy for grieving families and the disability community. My goal is to share wisdom that provides solace and strength. I hope you find what you need here today, and I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter to receive further inspiration in your inbox.
