#TranscendingGrief

Grief, Loss, and Mourning

It starts with a sharp pain in your chest,
A feeling of emptiness that won't let you rest.
You've lost someone dear, someone you loved,
And now you're left feeling broken and shoved.

The tears come easily, the memories flood,
You're drowning in sorrow, in your own blood.
You feel like you're lost, like you're adrift at sea,
And you wonder if you'll ever again be free.

But as time goes on, something starts to change,
The pain doesn't hurt as much, it's not as strange.
You start to see things differently, you start to grow,
And you realize that this grief, this loss, can help you know.

Know what it means to be human, to love and to lose,
To feel the pain and to choose to keep going, to choose
To let the memories live on, to honor the past,
To find the strength to keep moving, to make it last.

You learn that grief isn't just about the pain,
It's about the transformation that comes with the rain.
It's about growing, about learning to see,
That the person you lost will always be with thee.

So don't be afraid of the grief, the loss, the mourning,
For they will transform you, they will give you meaning.
They will show you what it means to truly live,
And they will give you the strength to forgive.

Forgive yourself for the pain, for the tears,
For the times when you couldn't face your fears.
Forgive yourself for the moments of weakness,
For they're just a part of this journey, this uniqueness.

So embrace the grief, the loss, the mourning,
And know that they will lead you to your own belonging.
To a place of peace, of love, and of light,
Where the memories of your loved one will shine bright.
