how to feel grief or
how long to grieve
even though grief has definitions,
grieving has steps to go through
but grief paints a coat as thin as water
over eyes, heart, mind and soul
and dyes as deeply as the blackest dye.
Only with the steady wash of time
does the intensity of grief fade
turning to shades of gray ~
rimmed with the golden edge of memory
while the feeling memories of love and joyous times shared
are bathed in a richer multicoloured dye.
Grief is not a choice for it is born of great love ~
how to fashion life out of grief is the only choice.
“I thought I could describe a state: make a map of sorrow.
Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state but a process.”
~ C.S.Lewis, A Grief Observed
