A cloud of unspeakable sadness
Unlike anything you’ve felt before
Interrupting your daily life
Like a punching bag
Full of unexpected blows
Searingly painful
Seemingly unending
A life gone
Your life as you know it
Now gone forever
The person gone
No others want to speak of them again
For fear of seeing your grief
How to find the candle
Of the never-ending tunnel of darkness
That seems the only ending
If you are the one who is grieving
Only you will find your way

Poetry distills life to its essence. You have done so many times before but you do so especially well in this poem. We are coming up on four years that my dear Gregory left and I miss him more than ever. I continue to grow and change and expand while he does not so it seems to get easier but in reality, it never will. Love you dear Kate!

I was listening to Peter Allen – a song (somehow a gift from you, Kate), about the woman and her song. Just know that we are all there with you- “helping you along . . .”
You are an inspiration, always, to me Kate. Your presence is tangible, so close, though far away. . . Thank you.
