My grief is like a pebble in my shoe
And each day my grief feels new
Each step through life now causes me pain

Sometimes a gentle rolling wave that slowly wraps around me like a heavy blanket. The weight of it almost unbearable at times but so familiar now.

And then it is gone, leaving me in its wake, and a stillness comes over me, and j find the courage to stand up, and I breathe-I am stronger now, and I know how to handle the waves.
