I lost my sister in August and it is tough. This thing called grief seems to come in waves, tall, short, high, fast, slow, strong… this thing called grief. Today it hit me hard, in fact this week has been a rough ride. I don’t want to burden people with it. I feel like it makes me unproductive, tired sometimes powerless. I hope it lessens, but sometimes from nowhere it rises and engulfs me, surrounds me like an invisible cloak. I had no intention of writing a poem, but somehow it helped me to express my thoughts and feelings. Perhaps it might help others?

Hello @Missmysis,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
