“You don’t get over it, you get through it.  It doesn’t get better, it gets different.  Every day, just like me, grief puts on a new face.”  -Unknown

And yet, there are moments of pure bliss, like stars in the night sky.  Like this:

Moonrise over Belgrade. Music: Tchaikovsky – Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.

You are not alone.

ps 22apr2020:  Meant to add music, as promised.  This song, “Don’t Wait” by Addison Road was release in 2010, but when I listened to this song tonight, it felt like it a letter to the future we’re living today.

“Grief changes shape, but it never ends. People have a misconception that you can deal with it and say, ‘It’s gone, and I’m better.’ They’re wrong. When the people you love are gone, you’re alone. I miss being a part of their lives and them being a part of mine. I wonder what the present would be like if they were here — what we might have done together. I miss all the great things that will never be.”

-Keanu Reeves

If I Had Known

Mary Carolyn Davies

If I had known what trouble you were bearing;
What griefs were in the silence of your face;
I would have been more gentle and more caring,
And tried to give you gladness for a space.
I would have brought more warmth into the place,
If I had known.

If I had known what thoughts despairing drew you;
(Why do we never try to understand?)
I would have lent a little friendship to you,
And slipped my hand within your hand,
And made your stay more pleasant in the land,
If I had known.
