Hi Janet. I'm amazed at the bright light within this piece. I have often wondered how people can write so well about subjects that bring them to their knees. Grief in any format is a tricky Devil and can consume your very soul if you succumbed to it often. Your light shines my girl, live in the now and know better is only just around the corner.

Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your kind and thoughtful review.
Grief is really tricky and there is rarely a warning. It just pops up when you least expect it. But holidays and birthdays are triggers for so many. Without my heavenly Father, I would not endure so better is truly just around the corner.
Blessings
Janet
Comment from jim vecchio
Not just at this time of year, but each day, I miss my wife more than words can ever tell. When she died, I would have done so myself had He allowed it. But God in His Wisdom blesse me daily. He and my wife gave me a beautiful daughter who always calls and visits and daily tells me she loves me. And we know any pang of grief is but for a moment when compared to Eternity.

Comment from Yusita
Ah, I just loved this one. You speak of a common topic in such beautiful and new words. "Grief pays no mind to time at all"... that was a perfect line with which to begin this great piece. The message and feeling is so well expressed and conveyed. You describe so perfectly everything we experience when grief comes our way... but I love how you end with hope. A wonderful poem indeed.

Comment from lyenochka
Thank you for this encouraging poem, Janet! You're right that the holidays do bring grief as we remember the loved ones who are not with us anymore. But you also gave us the antidote to focus on God. I especially loved:
"I've learned to cherish what I've got
And not dwell on those things I've lost.
To count my blessings - not my woes
And climb each mountain to the top."

Thank you for the thoughtful and encouraging review.
God is so good and he is our antidote. That?s a wonderful way to look at things ? especially those that cause us to grieve.
Thank you for that thought.
Blessings and Merry Christmas.

Janet.
One can easily feel the emotion you wrote the poem with. Each statement I could feel your pain. I am one who caused such pain to my parents many years ago.
Because of it and never getting closure, I too grieve for what I did. I don't want to get to much into things...
I'll pray for your strength to continue and carry on. And pray for reconciliation...
Be strong my friend.

Thank you John for your review and the special stars. I?m sorry for your grief. Sometimes we have to forgive ourselves I have a part in the separation from my son and that pains me and is part of my grief.
Thank you for your encouraging comments and good wishes.
Blessings and merry Christmas.

Comment from LovnPeace
So many means of greif. So many kinds of loss. The loss of someone still here is awful, but carries hope. The possibility of reunion. It is good always, to remember our Blessings and the love of this season. XO God Bless you and yours. Barbara

Hi Janet,
Sorry for your loss. Grief is a hard thing to shake sometimes. But you seem to have a good handle on how to get through it. Faith will get you through it and allow you to enjoy the holidays.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Have a great rest of your day.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork and presentation, Janet.
-Your notes are appreciated, and I'm sorry
you have this situation, but I'm glad you
wrote a poem about it, and hope that helps.
-You do a good job reflecting on both sides
of the issue. You make a good comparison
of grief being like a thief, depriving you of joy.
-But I am glad to hear that you are ready
to "climb each mountain to the top" with
Him to guide you on your way.
-Know that may thoughts and prayers are with you.
-Take care and have a great day!

Trembles and tears of grief pop up when least expected I've found, but as you say, if you can still look'around and count blessings rather than tears then that's okay. A lovely poem Janet. Nicely written.
Cheers
