Grief

Time does not bring relief;
you all have lied
who told me time would ease me of my pain.
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide.

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)

Grief...Again

It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.

Sidonie-Gabrielle Collette (1873-1954)

"Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day."
