The Poem was lovely to read today.

I read it twice. Firstly not being very present.

We are grieving the loss of someone very close to us,she passed away on Thursday evening 😢.

My mind isn't very focused at all

But I did breath,soften my face,a smile in my eyes and mouth.Relaxed my shoulders

Read it again....more tears came but this time different.A little more accepting.

I wonder if grieving is like Chronic pain.

We are all unique in the way we feel it and express it.

I cry

My husband stays busy

A girlfriend yesterday said,no I don't cry it's too exhausting.

I cry at almost anything upsetting

I cry when I'm in pain

I am starting to think if it's actually helpful.

I think it is, it happens so naturally for me.

But now I'm starting to rethink

What do tears show

Both pain and happiness

Thanks Richmond for making me inquisitive to our feelings
