How does one describe grief?
Imagine you are suddenly in a boat
In the middle of an ocean
Most of the time the wind is light
The waves are small and bearable
Then suddenly the wind blows harder
The waves became giants
They come crashing over you
You feel as if you are drowning
Then just as suddenly the wind dies down
Once again the waves are small and bearable
You are able to breathe again
Now imagine this happening over and over
That my friend is grief.
