Give Yourself A Little Grace
For a Friend Who Lost Her Adult Daughter
*This was written a couple of years ago, this woman's strength is amazing, truly a testament that we serve a miracle working God, she lost her daughter that year but not her faith!
Your hurting
The pain so raw
You can cut
It with a knife
Trying to
Get through each
Day
Moving along
On autopilot
It’s Okay
To not be
Okay
Give yourself
A little grace.
Give yourself
A little grace
The pain you
Feel is raw
And real
Going with the
Motions,
Wearing a
Sad smile
It’s Okay
Not to wear
The masks
Your hurting
And it’s okay
To not be okay.
You have bore
A heavy loss
Heartbroken
And full
Of pain
Simply trying
To go with
The motions
That get you
Through the coming days
It’s Okay
Not to be okay.

My heart goes out to your friend - such a devastating loss. This poem is beautiful. I'm glad she had you to lean on. <3
Well Michelle, you know that I understand what the lady is going through, because I lost my son. You never get over it. She is lucky to have a friend like you.
