A Place To Lay Your Grief – To Be Held In Loss

It is unfair,

It is unbearable,

I feel you.

At this moment,

You don't need to hold yourself together,

Let me hold you,

Let the sound,

The music,

My voice,

My beautiful song,

This is your time to feel,

To weep,

To scream,

To sit in silence,

To breathe,

There is no right way to grieve,

There is only your way,

Let yourself unravel,

Mourn,

Not just what happened,

I am so deeply,

Heart-breakingly sorry for what you are,

It is unbearable,

Just a small one piercing the thick dark,

This light is the essence of who you've lost,

They are with you,

They are in the air around you,

In the silence between those,

I know this doesn't make it easier,

Not now,

But maybe,

Just maybe,

It softens the edge of the dark,

Time comes,

May life gently invite you forward,

Not because the grief is gone,

I am so deeply,

Heart-breakingly sorry for what you are moving through,

It is unfair,

It is unbearable,

It is dark.
