When grief comes calling

Why is it strong to smile

Rather than cry

When your heart is truly breaking?

Why is loss something others with lesser knowledge

Advise we must move on from?

Silence and tears falling

Bear testament to the truth of a heart bereft

As well as love’s depth

And loss is a physical thing

That makes its presence felt

When we least expect

Caught unawares

We tremble as the surface cracks

And our entire being

Shakes with the memory

Of those special moments

Spent together

The touch of a hand

Will never again be felt

And there is an empty space

Left

In the place that love once filled

That will never assume the same shape

Again

So perhaps it is truer

To accept

That grief requires of us a surrender

An overpowering of all of our senses

A crumbling of the very foundations

Upon which we rest

And tears falling

Are the soul’s truest response

When grief comes calling

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

  2. This is beautifully written. I was always told how strong I was when my father passed away when I was 17 years old. I wasn’t strong. I was holding all that unimaginable grief in the depths of my soul. I pushed it down because that is what I was supposed to do. It took me almost 35 years to heal from the loss of my father because every time I thought I was ‘over’ it, the grief would knock me down even further. Finally, by allowing the grief to be known, to be heard and to be felt, I was able to set it free. I still miss my father but all those emotions of losing him needed to work their way out and that can’t happen if we continue to cover up the pain. Emotions are in us for a reason. They need to be felt and they need to be allowed to flow freely.

    1. I really resonate Mary cause I went through the same with the grief over my fathers loss. It took about 15 years to begin to connect to some of it and each time another loss comes as we both know earlier ones are triggered. Its so important people know its essential and natural to cry and release the tears. Thanks so much for sharing your experience here. It really means a lot. 💞

      1. Sadly, we’ve been taught from an early age to be brave. One thing we can do going forward is to try to share with others the necessity of grieving and self love. I don’t want my loved ones to suffer the way that you and I have.
