My friend's poem. It hit the feels.
Hey friends. This is not an easy poem to share. Dependency on God is a very common response to grief, but sadly so is this. I don’t like that this is my headspace. I’ve been doing a lot of writing over these past few weeks, all with this similar theme. I suspect like every other crushing wave of grief, I am going to have to swim in this for awhile before the tide changes.
I ultimately decided to share it because this page is about making grief visible, no matter what it looks like… even when it feels like this. I also know that if I feel it, there have to be others out there who feel it or who may have felt it at some point, but like me don’t feel that comfortable to say it. These feelings are real and it is a very lonely and isolated place to be. As always, I want you to know that you aren’t alone.
I call this one “In My Strength”
