Excuse Me, While I Grieve

In my own time and my own way

Excuse me while I grieve.

For all the time lost,

Negative pregnancy tests,

Missed opportunities,

Things that I could've had!

People who miss me,

Countries I've never visited,

And all of the memories, both good and bad.

Now, please, excuse me, while I grieve.

In my time, not yours!

    Love this!! Grieving is so important! Laughter and tears, artwork, talking, and of course writing... all healing! I have been going through that much of your list too! 💙❤️💙
