Hope

 


Foundation.


We are all born to grieve for one day, someone we love, will have to leave.


Finding a means to cope, will hopefully give birth to hope


By eventually embracing our darkness, we can find some sort of peace.


The Kübler-Ross 5 stages of grief:


Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and finally Acceptance. 


Can't still believe it

Why

I'd do anything, take me

I'm staying in bed


I do miss them so, but at least I'll carry their memories with me


Everywhere I go


If you have been through grief, you probably will relate to the five stages 


Hopefully, you are at the last stage but if not


The others are just another part of the healing process, and will help you turn their dark pages

Laid on the altar

Of Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

She finds hope in grief
