Yes, we all feel grief over the many losses we suffer, but with strength we go on with a little whole where that person was.

I guess, hurt is a normal part of life. But why is that some people get so much more of it than others. And although we know it's unavoidable, it never gets easier. Thanks for sharing.

What a creation God has made, able to endure the harshest of pain and yet find the inner strength to love again. Not always but we can hope!

Smiles, Carol

Comment from Zinnia48

Good

This poem graphically describes the comlicated emotions of grieving. The contrast between the emotions that the poet originally felt with her awareness that she's still here and beautifully broken is quite effective. Thank you! Zinnia48

Then why 4 stars? You offered no crit, so I?m at a loss.

reply by Zinnia48 on 24-Mar-2022

for reaching out, Justafan. I rarely give 5 stars and try to focus on the positive unless there are glaring issues. Since you asked, the transition from the first line to the third with the independent phrase: so great seemed awkward. "To me" eliminating that phrase and adapting the third would make it flow better. Again, for "me". I hesitate to critique unless asked as I know that writing comes from the soul, and I want to honor that process. Thanks for letting me be part of your process. zinnia 48

This is a sensational write! Your words come through with passion and the pain is evident. I love the artwork as well. It is truly inspiring. I hope you are inspired more often and continue to write.
