Grief

Grief Frozen Standing still In tear filled time Unable to cope With memories that hurt Once filled space, is now empty Silence is haunting to sit in Willing to trade anything to change A sudden loss, feeling too much to bear Heidi Sands 8/27/18

An understanding of the pain of grief. Recognizing the stages that accompany it. Haunting.

All the responses to grief we evoke, are well described in your short poem. You articulated well the coping mechanism of humans. Well done, Heidi.

Thank you very much Vijay :) Your comments are always appreciated. I just edited it. I forgot the first word 'grief' when I entered it.
