EmOtioN…. GRIEF
Grief alone feels gripping
Grief shared feels lighter, healthy
Grief grips all DEEPLY.
.
Children grieve their own way
sometimes silently, alone
scars form on the heart.
.
Siblings grieve as one
Siblings grieve differently
Grew separately.

I agree with Brian that the font effects are great. And, indeed, scars form on the heart.
siggiofmaine
Victoria,
thank you for the nice comment…I appreciate it. I always wonder about color or font size
detracting rather than adding to the post.
Color seems to be a major effect to my own thinking…I’ve always loved bold colors and … as a nurse
you’ll appreciate this…altho the kardex was written in pencil, the headings of each division…medications, treatments, etc, was in Sharpy pen for ease of finding…always color coding my life.☺.
Peace,

One of the hardest things I’ve gone through as an adult was watching my mother grieve the passing of my father – 12 years ago next month. The would have been married for 55 years this year. My grief and my mother’s were so different…which is natural, considering the different relationship we each had with Dad, and our own intrinsic personality differences.
Your words here captured the complexity of such a difficult subject. SIggi…wonderful work.

Hi Siggi,
I just found your comment about Theme Thursday. Joining a site just means that blogger puts that site in your list of blogs you follow. As far as I know one has to add a website to one’s sidebar through “gadgets” to have the prompt show up on your website. I am not sure how exactly wordpress lets you do this but I have seen that it does. The other choice in how to know what the theme is for the week is to come visit the site. I think if you click on my site and then it will take you to my website or maybe my profile, if you get to the website then you will see on my sidebar a link, “view my profile”, click that on and you will see Theme Thursday listed as one of My Blogs, click it on and it will take you there. You can then add the site to your favorites list. Or you can just see the TT link farther down on my sidebar, click it on and it will take your there. I hope this helps you with the answer to your question. I am glad you like playing, we are very happy to have you join us.
And your verse about grief holds so much truth. A very well written poem.
Thank you and God bless.
PS….Your comment was somehow sent over to the spam moderation section and thank goodness I found it. If you have any more questions please stop by my site.

Yes, I hadn’t thought of a child grieving differently until we went through it with the loss of my late life partner. Hadn’t even realised in my own grieving that a child was grieving in her own way too. We can learn so much from children if we really think about it. Well said.

A very moving piece, Siggi. I know quite a bit about the subject of grief, and you have nailed it.
