Hiding in my room tonight
Crying
Like I'm a child
Praying for light
Flashes of red
Screaming
Like I'm insane
Hitting the bed
Ignoring what happened
Denying
Like I can't see
My spirit dampened
Offering a deal
Begging
Like a pauper
Yearning to heal
Trying to give blame
Wondering
Like it's my fault
Ending the game
Life moving on
Accepting
Like I give up
Knowing you're gone
*when my Mom passed away (12 years ago this month) we had a very nice chaplain come to the room and explain the grieving process to us. There are 5 accepted stages to grieving (I consider it to be 6 when you add depression/sadness into the mix), in no particular order: Anger, guilt, denial, bargaining, and acceptance.

My father passed away just one month ago. I have a number of poems on "Invisible Keepsakes" that are in tribute to him or about the process of losing and grieving. My most recent post is one of them.
