Understanding Grief: Finding Light in Darkness

h

Grief came like a shadow, heavy and deep,
A silence that echoed, a sorrow to keep.
It lingered in corners, it darkened the day,
It whispered of all that was taken away.

But softly, through cracks where the cold shadows lay,
A glimmer of warmth found its way to stay.
For grief is not empty, nor hollow, nor bare
It’s love overflowing with nowhere to go, there.

Each tear that falls is a story of light,
Of moments once held, still shining so bright.
And though hearts may shatter and ache in the night,
They gather new strength with each morning’s first sight.

So carry the sorrow, but don’t let it bind,
For healing is gentle, yet fiercely aligned.
The love that you carry will never depart,
It lives on forever, a flame in your heart.

And one day you’ll notice, through pain’s quiet seam,
That grief has transformed into something serene.
A powerful reminder of all that was true
That love never leaves… it just changes in you.
