Sorrow comes in waves
As I recall precious memories that I’m unwilling to abandon
Too close to my heart to let go of
So painful to picture because of the beauty of those moments
I don’t want to let them go
I don’t want to lose the importance of their impact on my
heart
I don’t want them to fade into nothingness
They mattered
The love I received mattered
It helped to give my heart substance to build on
Love showed me the way
Knowing that there is no more, even if just temporarily
Does not ease the pain of this loss
It gives me hope for a future
But my heart still aches
And that ache honors the love given to me
It acknowledges that something important and worthwhile and
precious was lost
Somehow allowing myself to feel this pain makes it better
Because – to ignore it or not to allow it, would be a
disservice to that love
Pain shows how much that love was worth
It is the counterpart to the joy of having them in my life
They mattered in a significant way
Love matters
Love lost also matters
Grieving is good.
