Grief, what is grief. not good grief….sorrow, anguish, heartache, pain, misery.
How can you have all those feelings at once.
The grief of seeing your loved one in a coffin
The grief of watching your loved one lose rational thought.
The grief of not being able to console your siblings, surviving parent, children, grandchildren.
Intellectually, you know it is a process. Does that lessen the pain? The grief? The ANGUISH? The sorrow? The misery? no
Time, time is the healer……That’s what they say.
I rage…I rage at simplistic euphemisms.
My brother,, yesterday we were listening to Supertramp (take the long way home) that was 13 years, that was yesterday when you passed with AIDS related complications.
My sister….my beautiful sister…yesterday, when cancer was eating away at you.
That was almost 10 years, that was yesterday.
My Dad, My Dad, My Dad. My Dad that was yesterday.
