Grieving is as Breathing

Let the tears flow, my love.

Grieving is as breathing.

Grieve for all that was and all that was lost.
Grieve for missing a life that you knew was yours.  You held it, but it slipped away like a handful of sand.

Grieve for those who love but do not know how to express it, but instead hide in the shadows and scream in silence over the life they have chosen.
They see their past as but a memory; fleeting yet within your grasp.

Grieve for those who have passed on to a new journey.
Know that your journey will someday end as well, but work remains;
Do not let grief set your feet in stone.

Grieve for those who have lost more than they can bear.  Hold them up and bear the burden for them; walk in their shoes and wipe away their tears.

Breathing is the only thing we must do to help the grief subside;
Time continues on and eases the pain with each new turn of the Earth.

The tears of grieving will fill the oceans, but the sun will always shine again to dry them up; allow it to do its much needed work.

The tears will flow, my love.

But flow they must.
