I never knew I could slip through grieving so badly. 

The daily struggle, the heartbreak which I have. 

My strength is slowly dying inside; the pain truly exists. 

Really I couldn't feel anything else, but only this. 

Grief is such a mysterious emotional drainage: 

Living in limbo, trying to live with such courage. 

This is actually hard; be easy with me. 

I didn't ask for this; it's not an act, you see. 

Attacking me verbally doesn't make me rush through it; 

It only prolongs the grief and ruins our relationship. 

So don't be surprised if I don't come to your door; 

You have hurt me deeply with words you thought were the cure.

• Grief is physical.

• Grief is feeling rundown and getting sick over and over again.

~Faith, Hope, Love

• Grief is holding your breath, or breathing fast and shallow like a scared rabbit.

• Grief is forgetting and then remembering again that someone is really dead.

• Grief is a dim spotlight that illuminates the void where a life once was.

• Grief is throwing your hands up into the air and collapsing onto the floor into despair.
