Grief

Grief can be rainbows on a really stormy day
It can be gale force winds with skies filled with grey
It can be sunshine and clouds
It can be totally quiet and then screaming out loud
It can be gentle and safe
And pain so great
That every time you feel
Everything you are feeling
Every bone in your body aches
Grief is messy
Grief is mean
It can be a million different things
But at the end of the day
What grief is to me
Is the feelings we feel when we miss someone deeply
So be with it right now, feel whatever comes your way
And know that however you are feeling
Is truly okay.
This is your grief!
No one gets to tell you what that should look or feel like.
