Grief

and i am giving myself permission to go slowly --
to show up in limited capacity
and then like a waterfall
all at once to pool at the base.
ebbing and flowing how i will.
i am telling myself that this too is in my nature.

trickling over the dam
watering the banks
creating rapids
spilling unbound
and emptying into the unfiltered

this too is grief.

this too is life

without you

This is for all of us still loving and left behind on this side of living.

For all of us that remain two years after Alex died. Especially for us New Life family.
And now for those that are still here after Sheila has departed.

With love,
K
