I gave up fighting grief. It's always there, but I finally learned to live with it and still smile. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest! Have a great day, and God bless.

Thanks for the read and review! I'd love to be able to prove you wrong about the fight with grief, but I can't. Glad the poem/meaning was understood. Thanks again!

Yes, how guilt can come on board and sink ANY ship, let alone one already weighted down with gief. Woulda/shoulda/coulda comes on in full force then. It takes all one's stamina to remain afloat.
Very well done haiku.
