Grief Can Be Sneaky

Grief can be sneaky
It can make a simple task
overwhelming

It can tear you out of your world
Force you to feel things
you've been avoiding

Often the timing makes sense
As a reminder that years
won't make it go away

It can help you recognize
what you've been using
to cope and not feel

These things
are sometimes helpful
Giving us time to gain strength

Remember to be gentle
with yourself and others
We all grieve differently
