Grief is not for the lost, but for the left behind.
The lost need nothing.
They are ashes and dust, pictures and memories.
They are mistakes and regrets.

Grief is not for the lost, but for the left behind.
Grief is a space in our living. It is a vessel.
It is a room, empty of all else.
It is a space in the soul, a space we need to breathe.

Grief is not for the lost, it is a space for the left behind.
Grief is a space for us to sit and cry, and to laugh out loud.
It is a space for us to think, a space to remember, a space to learn.
But most of all, it is a space to fill.

Grief is not for the lost, it is a space to fill.
It is a bowl into which we mix the ingredients of a soul.
Regret, mistakes, sadness, pain, anger. Love.
It is a bowl into which we pour ourselves, out of ourselves.

Grief is not for the lost, but for the left behind.
And into this grief, we pour ourselves, out of ourselves
So that we may see ourselves, within ourselves
and so we may have the space, within ourselves, to love.
