Dealing With Grief

Nothing can erase grief
Or speed up the healing process,
But, writing about it can keep you aware
As you go through it,
And offer some solace
As you wait for time
To do the rest.

Hello Jim, Yes, you inked it so well and that it does take time and sometimes getting it written down can be quite helpful in the process. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Hello Jim Slaughter, Hi, Jim. grief takes a long time to get over. If the person is hurt from the past it takes time to get over grief. the pain hurts. then when that is gone, anger enter in. that take time to heal. When that is gone then the person is healed. enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/
