I am a griever
That doesn’t mean I have a disease
It means that I miss and love
someone who has died
Let me grieve in my own pace
My reality is forever changed.
Do not judge me nor feel it is your
obligation to tell me “move on,”
or “get over it.”
Getting over it is not an option.
With time, I will do my best to
Move forward one step in front of the other.
They might be baby steps, but it is
better than none at all.
When I need you…
Just be there.
