After the initial brutal shock of loss
It creeps in slowly
In waves, maybe
And in the most unsuspecting ways
Ambushes while driving alone in the car
While in the shower engulfing the soul
While getting ready to work
Amidst all the people around you
A picture, a place, a scent and some memories
Or a voice
All of a sudden hits you
How so very much you miss someone
Your breath catches
Tears roll down the cheeks
The sadness is so humungous
That its almost physically painful
Grief is living two lives
On the outside you pretend all is well
In the other, in solitude
the heart screams in pain

DeleteGrief is a letter different than brief . But is never that way. Happiness can take care of itself .but it requires company for sure.
ReplyDeletethe worst is the gnawing pain of grief that only the person going through it can relate to.
