A Poem about Grief
A Poem about Grief.
By Chaplain Mary George-Whittle
Grief is more than just stages…Grief is..
A journey into deep within,
An empty space that can’t be filled in.
A stunning realization of what used to be,
A battle with sadness others can’t see.
A life story ended with untold emotion,
A powerful time of unwavering devotion.
An unsettled struggle that catches attention,
A missing beyond comprehension,
An awareness of life’s fragility,
A life now seen very differently.
A collection of moments of love and care,
A desperate feeling of deep despair.
A mystery dance with fate alone,
A future hung in vast unknown.
A collection of blessings in disguise,
A wake-up call in the middle of the night.
A video of unfinished dreams,
A gratefulness for all you mean.
A hole inside a broken heart,
An inner sadness that we’re apart.
A struggle inside the inner soul,
An awareness grief can take its toll.
A stark reminder of what once was,
A painful journey of unconditional love.
