GREAT GRIEF
Don't fall out of love with the world because they no longer live in it.
Instead be grateful
that this world produced them
be glad
that this life ever existed and that you were blessed enough to love them then
and love them still.
Don't fall out of love with this world because it could not keep your heart whole
instead
let love be the glue
patch it up
and fill it with joy joy that you know first-hand
in this bittersweet conundrum
that great grief is born only of great love.
