Death of a loved one

Death of a loved one changes the lives
Of whom is left behind
He may not understand what is left for him
His direction, path, focus has been fogged
His mind has regressed to escape his stress
His actions become childlike as he seeks 
Attention, connection, touch
But only in his form, his way
Not considering other feelings
No awareness of!
No respect for!
Disregarding sensitivity of!
