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.
