I sat with my grief and it told me its name
It said “I am love just turned into pain.”
“Please don’t fear me” it went on to say
“We need to be friends because I am here to stay.”
I said “If you are love then why betray me?”
"Can’t you see that I am in agony?”
Grief put its arm around me and whispered really low
“Can’t you see that his love did not go.”
Grief then said “He is still with you although his body you cannot see
His love never left you, please believe me.”

I am crying reading this - but it is a lovely poem - I’ve taken a screenshot.
Hugs to all. Gill. 
So sorry for your recent loss Gill.
I lost my partner 3 and 1/2 years ago, but the pain, heartache and daily tears have not left me, although a little easier.
Take care x

It is so hard isn’t it. I feel I climb a mountain every day. Thinking of trying antidepressants- but not sure.
One day at a time. xx
