Grief

For some grief lightly brushes by a person they didn't really know within a few months totally forgotten these are the lucky ones For most, grief is a devastating thing so many things to remind you about them time really doesn't exist, just the loss and the heart-wrenching pain Some days easier to leave behind the next bringing you to your knees all it can take is a chance word an action, even a line in a book And crash it all floods back in so people try to remember just because your life has moved on For others try though they will it has not, it is still fresh, bitter and so devastatingly still in their face So pause when you see them cry give what little comfort you can just remember one day sadly it may be you who will have this loss and pain to bear

The loss of a loved one is not an easy thing to handle..For some it is easier than others..Life is never the same without them.Enjoyed reading your work about the topic..Sara

This is so true and shows your compassionate heart. Your name should be changed from Shadow to Light. Have a wonderful day, hugs Rick.

Thanks for the advice. I have a friend who is grieving at this time..a couple of friends actually and it's painful even to hear of others grieving. You have a great understanding of grief, I see. It never truly leaves. But some people have hope and that's always a great comfort. And we have each other. What a moving poem to have read this morning. Really cool one, Shadow. I like your name (: Always, Laura
