A Griever's Prayer
Emotion Poem43 total reviews
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Death is an emotion that is hard to control when it's someone you dearly love. You go through so many emotions, sorry, anger, and more before you reach the acceptance and can go forward. This is a really good contest entry, a deep wound that needs God to help move through it. Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

Thank you and welcome to my bizarre and sometime controversial corner of the written word. My profile describes me accurately. I am glad you enjoyed this peace. as for dad, his struggled has ended. He has eithr found peace, or there is nothing beyond the grave. We'll only know when we pass on.

Loss and grief go hand in hand. Never easy and praying can be some relief. Takes time. Thanks for sharing this contest entry. Take care and have a wonderful day and a Happy New Year.

Thank you. As the Lord said when He gave up the ghost, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" He is now at rest.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
The grief never ends. I love the lines that ask when will it end, it all depends on the depth of the hole and who is in control. This asks the famous question of all of us who are in control when our id is really the one who knows and it shows by our actions instead of our words.
The picture of a granddaughter who is mourning her grandfather is precious and pure emotional respite.

Hi Tom,
sorrow has a way of robbing us of peace. It's something that each person has to deal with in their own way, and sometimes it takes quite awhile to heal. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Tom

The week began hard when the missus entered to feed her dad, but peace arrived as the week moved forward. He is now at rest, and the family has found a way to revel in his life, moving past his death.
Comment from Wendy G
Your poem filled with grief and loss express the feelings of many when confronted with the loss of somebody very precious. There is a sense of bewilderment, shock and confusin accompanying that grief, and it's a hard journey of recovery.

Thanks, my Aussie friend. The week began hard when the missus entered to feed her dad, but peace arrived as the week moved forward. He is now at rest, and the family has found a way to revel in his life, moving past his death.

This was raw and honest expression of grief.
Your loss is palpable as filtered through the disbelief and sadness of his granddaughter.
My condolences to you and yours. I will say a prayer for all of you tonight.
Blessings!

The passing of a loved one is a traumatic experience. Grief is a devastating emotion, which differs with each individual. Your poem is touching and well written. Evi

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
This is a very good poem for the contest. ^You have written some significant aspects about grief and your photo presentation and font support your words. For decades I've learned about grief through a 9/11 family foundation I've been involved with in NY. I enjoyed reading your work. Best wishes, Alex

I'm so sorry for your loss and the grief that you and your family must deal with now. It's a never-ending presence, but like the ocean waves, it has its high and low tides but never ceases to appear. You did a marvelous job with the poem, but I know it couldn't have been easy.
Hugs, Carol
