I love how you reach into our hearts so deeply with yours! I don’t recognize some of the emotions I’ve masked for so long until I read a story or a poem that brings it up for me to learn, grow, and heal from. Thank you!
I don’t know how empathy interacts with our own grief. It is always appreciated. However, there are times when you need to put yourself and your needs first.
a funny thing is that i put off reading this because I wasn't ready!
nice to see an empathetic heart. <3
Thanks, Elizabeth. Maybe I am too much so and I forget to look at my own grief
So true, so sweet. Not the pain but the empathy and acknowledgement.
Thanks so much, Don. I appreciate it!

Yes! That happens to me with other writers here. Sometimes the writing hits so hard it knocks the air out of me - and that's when the healing starts
Well said. Yes.

Thanks so much Rod! Sometimes it's easier to focus on grief from others than to acknowledge your own. If that makes sense
That does make sense. I can understand how easy that would be.
Our BELIEF in time - that is the thief!
Lovely poem!
Thanks, Aaron and thanks for restacking!
