Grief is that heavy stone that sits on your chest

Grief is that random burst of pain that never goes away

Over time it may lessen but it never disappears

One minute I’m thinking of what I’m going to eat and the next I’m thinking about how much worse my life is without you

Grief is overwhelming love that has no person to hold it anymore

Grief is a thought that stops you in your tracks while going about your day

Grief is the breath stealer that ruins your day

And one day maybe I’ll think of you and it will bring a smile to my face rather than tears to my eyes but I don’t think that will be any time soon
