Grief Is Not a Straightforward Journey

If you are mourning the loss of someone or something, take the time and space you need. It's your journey. Don't let anyone try to push you into something you're not ready for, whether it be feelings or actions. Whatever you're going through, and whether you choose to go it alone or ask for help, know that you're never alone. There is a lot of positive energy (and there are many spiritual beings) in the Universe to help each of us. Blessings and best wishes. Grief is not a straightforward journey By Michelle Morris 27/12/2022 Grief is not a straightforward journey It is filled with feelings and emotions Like when we peel an onion It's layers can leave us tearing But working through those layers Helps us in the end Like an onion can enhance a meal Our depths reveal how we deal There is no reason to follow A to-do list of social mores It's more important to work through Your feelings and emotions We never know Whether it will be quick or slow We can only follow Our own special path of life lessons And even when we think We've healed the pain within The feelings can come rushing back On a birthday or anniversary Be gentle on yourself And hold on to your good memories Try to remember that Death Only takes mortal bodies The souls of loved ones remain They will last forever And we will get to see them again In an everlasting hereafter So, feel what you need to feel And move at your own pace May you be blessed and held Within the Universe's embrace © Michelle Morris, 2022
