The following is written by my son, Jonathan. He is our oldest and just 20 months older than his sister.
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
