Grief
is when you're little, and
Mom
ties your scarf too tight
You're
out in the cold, choking, but
can't
come in, ever again
Grief
is when the whole world
Suddenly
turns black and white
Colorhues
shades of grey
Gone
Grief
is a hole, so
N S
O E U
R O
M
You
wonder if there's
anything
left,
except
the
outline
of
where your heart
used to be
used to be
Grief
also surprises you,
sneaks
attacks,
just
when you think that
maybe
today
I
can hold it together
For
just this moment
You can't,
because
the hurt
so
big, will never
heal
enough
to
“make it all ok”.
In
loving memory of him. Forever in my heart.

Tina that was beautiful in its sorrow...
Tina,
We joins you in your grief.
We understand it but you need to
explain it little further. May His peace be upon you and yours.
God Bless.

Hi Tina - amazing poem ... evoking such sadness .. it must be so difficult for you - these waves will come and go ... I really feel for you - just sometimes life seems impossible to get through.
Look after yourself ... with many thoughts Hilary
Love you Tina. Hang in there sweetie. ((hugs)) That was a beautiful and heartfelt poem.
So hard to lose those we love, old and young and in-between. Best line for me: "Grief also surprises you..
an enormous hole indeed and it tears the heart apart in a way that it can never be like it was - though i do hope that you will experience healing.. hugs..
Wonderfully said. I could feel the sadness and sorrow. Wishing you all the best.
So sorry for your loss... But beautifully expressed! Love the heart in the middle.

Powerfully written, dear Tina. We have to visualise that somewhere beyond grief there is hope.
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday, dear friend.

"Grief also surprises you,
sneaks attacks,"
That's something that I've learned about grief. Even years later, something seemingly insignificant can trigger a flood of emotion.
This summarizes my last year for me. This was so very poignant Tina, it made me tear up. Hope you're holding up well.
Hugs from across the seas,

Some loss is just like you've described. Thankfully we do get over most things--or at least learn to cope in some acceptable way.
