Poems for Those Who Mourn Loneliness and Loss

Grief throws one down into a pit that seems to have no exit. Emotionsviolent emotions of loss, loneliness, and griefassault one. Sometimes one can only endure them and cry, no, sob. Sometimes one can laugh at them through ones tears. Thats what these poems are about: laugh, cry, endure, go on to the next day and the next attack of grief. The only hope is hope itselfraw, naked, confusing, terrifying, and ultimately, supportive. Read, cry, laugh, cry, and go on living. So it is.
