Grief Again

20th July 2020
Nearly 3 months.

Part 8 - Loving touch has gone away

I daily waken in despair,
alone and craving morning love,
there's no caress from one who isn't there.

Time will heal, they blithely say,
But how can hunger heal by time,
when all the loving touch has gone away.

I thought that I was coping well,
but sadness follows through the day,
If I smile, perhaps they cannot tell.

When the grieving began, it felt like I was coping better than at the same time fifteen years earlier. But three months after Roslyn's departure, I now feel that I am emotionally worse than I was the first time I grieved.

The sadness is overwhelming. Tears are ever waiting, with only the smallest trigger able to release them.
