Grief and Loss

Gathered together with loved ones all around reminiscing memories though you don’t hear a sound isolated in your grief ~ oh how can this be true even though so many came you feel alone you are not there for no one knows just how you feel ~ you pray they never will And afterwards the pain is worse no mention of his name no they fear it will upset ~ you love his name you’ll ne’er forget despite your tears despite your pain ~ oh why do they not speak his name Love so strong that when it’s gone your heart has truly broken only you will feel such pain ~ so raw like nothing felt before surely life cannot go on, you'll never laugh nor smile again, but then someday when you least expect you smile at memories you recollect...

Your grief is natural and it comes and goes as it wants, they say time is a healer but I'm not so sure, when you have lost your nearest and dearest. Congratulations Sara. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
