Inside of Grief

It's been a year. Some days--well, most days--I just don't want to be sad anymore. I feel trapped like I'm behind some medieval door that is impenetrable to me. Others seem to be able to break through, just not me. Not today. Trying to stay in the moment and be grateful is almost as exhausting as the endless tears. So much still to be grateful for.

About the Artist
I lost my husband in January 2015. He was my stars. He was my everything. I write memories to help me deal with grief--a grief I was not prepared to face. I never would have been ready to say "Goodbye" but I also never would have gauged the depth of grief to be so deep. I hope my poems can help others realize they are not alone in the loss of a beloved family member.
