Senryu For Sadness

My Mum was nit allowed to mourn the death of her firstborn prem twin boys - after a week of sobbing her heart out- she was told it was enough, and she must stop crying. She hasn't been able to cry since. 'Its for the best." is most probably the worst thing anyone can say to someone about a miscarriage, a failed relationship, the death of a pet...I only understood what she went through after reading an article on "hidden grief"- grief you cant speak about, or receive comfort for, because its frowned on. We need to support and comfort where we can. Thank you for your visit and comment, Paul!

It's not often that a fellow poet comes by to comment on older works, Line! Very much appreciated indeed...Thoughtful and kind of you to visit this personal senryu. : )

I thought I had replied to you, Sunshine Smile, so here's a Big Thank You, for your comment! :-)

Thank you, Phil, getting grief "off one's chest " is a natural part of grieving, and needs to be understood, and accepted with compassion...your visit and comment means a lot to me :-)
