Grief is ripples on a pond; it comes in waves, expands and fades, 

And can bathe and soothe after awhile.

A sweet river of tears. 

Rain.
My image of grief is a single tree in the midst of winter.

From one’s heart: talking / singing to the night, to stars, to the deep unknown & mystery,           about one’s connections, about one’s loved ones, about one’s love.

Letting go of my own selfish needs to have that person still in my life. 

A gradual transformation.

A womb of recognition and release. 

The arms of a loved one --a loving one even if I don’t know them. 

The possibility / hope of finding peace and a sense of contentment.

Being alone, sad, or afraid at a time when you don’t have the strength to have those feelings. Grief: something heavy holding me down. 

Image of grief: white snake. Tears and heartache. An aching, broken heart. A treasured possession of a loved one, & a letter written by one who had died. 

Grief: it does not always get better, it just gets different.
An empty bed. An empty space, a hole. Loss--a void. Abyss with no bottom -- riptide. Swimming in a gulf of sadness while letting go. A flock of birds flying away into the sky away from a beach. A season comes to a close readying for the next -- a bird in flight soaring upwards before me. Grief: a train through the city. Grief is a long winding road up a mountain

A journey with a calm, peaceful end and beautiful scenery. Open space. Gratitude. 

Such a beautiful warm healing process. Light--your face surrounded by light--I feel a longing and a wish to HOLD & HUG you!         

I miss you. I feel your love so strongly--and I love you! 

Soft, balanced, peaceful. Letting go and feeling the presence.
Memories.
