#TranscendingGrief

In life, we all will bear witness to pain,
To loss and sorrow that shall remain,
For grief is an experience we all will share,
A weight upon our hearts that's hard to bear.

At first, it feels like the world's caved in,
And nothing is left to believe in,
Our hearts ache with a pain so deep,
We can't imagine ever being able to sleep.

We feel as though our world has ended,
And we're left with nothing to be mended,
Our minds spiral with the what-ifs and whys,
As we question the purpose of goodbyes.

But in this darkness, a light does shine,
For grief is not just pain, but a way to refine,
It forces us to confront our own mortality,
And see...
