By its very nature
Grief feels like The End
Death
Dissolution
Destruction

Loss of connection
Loss of belonging
Loss of hope

The Loss
Is Real
And Final

And yet…

Nothing begins
Until something else ends

To grieve
To mourn
To release
To accept

This
May be
The hardest part
Of being human

This
May be
The only way
To receive the divine

Because God
Can only begin
A new story
When our old one
Ends
