Whimsical Joy

When grief calls and pain descends,
the primary goal becomes survival,
but once the dark cloud of loss starts to
lift, it is hard to find joy in the same places
that joy was present before, so now joy
is often brought by moments of whimsy

So true that how we react to everything is totally different after a traumatic event. We can't help it.
