There was no one else around. I thought it would go away if I didn't make a sound. But it remained beside me. I tried to turn away. I found it turned with me, like a game I used to play. This wasn't any game though, so I moved to another place. Grief was already waiting with its tear stricken face. I asked what it wanted and why wouldn't it go away. Grief didn't answer, but I knew it was here to stay. So i let it sit beside me. I stopped asking it to go. Instead I opened up to it and put my emotions all on show. It never asked any questions. Or expected me to smile. It never questioned time, Or said it had been a while. Grief moved into my home. It slept with me in bed. It ate when I would eat. It heard everything I said. I thought when it was ready that maybe it would move on. It wouldn't really matter though, because you'd still be gone. I miss you every day xx Always in my heart xxx Mum
