5 Stages of Grief

Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance This burden is so very heavy But I can’t possibly put it down I must carry it with me always As a reminder of my love for you Just below the surface it boils But I can’t possibly let it out All my prayers went unheeded But that was obviously my fault If only I had been there for you But I can’t possibly be everywhere I would have done anything Now there’s nothing left to give Life was blue skies and bright flowers But I can’t possibly be happy again Now dark nights and fading dreams Screams of horror and despair Life truly is a box of chocolates I can make positive choices that define me So many sweet delectable bites left Mine will just half to be dark chocolate

Hello Wadde Greenlee, umm- dark chocolate is very good for you. It is a healthy chocolate to eat. Everyone goes through depression some for awhile and some longer. Have a nice day my friend.
