Grieving

The Five Steps

****************

Denial

There is a possibility

A slight improbability

That she is alive and safe

From this catastrophe

Anger

God, I feel betrayed

This just isn’t fair

That her life was delayed

Do you even care?

Bargaining

I’m the one unhealthy

I’m the one that is sick

My life taken would make sense

But death has no respect

Depression

I’m awake and breathing

Tomorrow will be the same

Right now there is nothing worth doing

Tomorrow will prove to be the same…..

Acceptance

Today is the day brand new

I have accepted and will prove

I do not know better than God

Living with her loss is what I must do
