Kathleen Hassall Poet Free verse

Grief Storm

The first holiday that a loved one is in heaven is hard,
Sometimes a wave of emotion will hit and it almost brings me down
But I've learned that instead of fighting it or breaking down,
To just let it wash over me and experience the emotions
Sometimes, they come out in words, and sometimes they just
Wash over me and take my breath away, but in the wake of the 
Emotional storm, all encompassing love remains

Line Gauthier November 30, 2025 at 9:19 AM Your poem touched me and I feel for you ~ it's already been five years since I lost my husband. My heart is still brimming with love ~ I don't think that will ever fade away. Kathleen Hassall November 30, 2025 at 9:39 AM Thanks, Line. I don't think love fades away, but the loss becomes less painful with time. I hope that happens, anyway. I have actually had a lot of loss in my life, but this has been the most painful by far.
