This is from my book Joining in the Dance of Life: Thirty Days to a Happier You!
Our heart weeps The rain sings it’s Song of lament with us How could someone We love be gone So soon? Our thoughts become Confused and we walk As if we are in a daze How could this be? How are we to have Any understanding or relief? Life constantly changing Dying and new birth Loss and new hope The sadness seems unbearable The loneliness and fear Overwhelms and stops our world Where do we go? Who do we turn to? Where do we find peace? Reflection Loss of someone we love touches our deepest self. It causes us to look at our own life and realize that every thing in life changes. We have to look at our own immortality. It an be frightening and leave us feeling lose and alone. Our sadness can drastically reduce our energy and it seems nothing or no one ca ease our pain. Even thought we have to experience the grief process there are some things we can do to try and make it bearable. We can reflect on the people we have in our lives and how much we appreciate them.This might be a good time to let them know. We can take a lesson from nature and notice how even though the trees are barren in the winter when the cold weather comes, in the spring new life appears. Even the changing from night to day reminds us that the darkness isn’t forever. We can reach out to people who can support us and let them know our feelings. We can turn to our spiritual beliefs which may bring comfort. We can also go to a place where we can find inner peace within ourself. This could be through prayer, mediatation, music, art, dance, writing, any number of things. Most of all we can remember that these feelings aren’t forever. There sill be a spring, there will be new birth, there will be light after the darkness. There is a seed deep within us waiting to be born Then one day our tears flow as they water the seed The water brings insight and new growth begins The water brings roots that become stronger each day Then one day a glorious bud appears waiting for it's appearance We begin to see the reason for the tears and see our goodness Then the day comes!! The bud blossoms and we see the beauty that is within! We now can bring the love and wisdom of God We now can help others We can let them know that tears can bring new birth and a strength beyond compare

Cindy,

Very hopeful write about dealing with death. Most of us have in one form or another, and it's difficult to get over the hurdles. Your poem has much meaning.

We deal with losses every day in one form or another. Your write is a great write and death has to be number one when talking about loss.
I have lost both parents. I still remember trying to console my mother who died at 54. God bless,

Cindy, this is a beautiful reflection on how to deal with a loss.
Honoring them is so important. Praying for family and friends helps.
Asking God what to do is the best solution. He will provide answers.

Amen

Love, peace and blessings,

John

Great write, Cindy. I've always said, "Only the good die young." That explains why I'm still here at 58 years old. I've a long way to go yet. Again, great write and God bless.
