Heartfelt poem that resonates with me, my grief

Personally even over time it never truly leaves

I just carry it more lightly as time moves forward.

Thanks, Steve. There are so many types of grief and it does get different, but it never truly goes away.

So raw, Jane! And not an alien feeling to me, either. Let's keep smiling through the pain, though.
