Friends, keep on.
We're almost done
the year that should not have been
we're almost done.
We all host
our own trauma but January 1
pulls us forward.
We all hope
that 20:20 is hindsight
and worth the fight.
Those who are tired
those who are hurt
those who are angry
rest, heal, and feel.
Sink your heels in
lift with your legs
raise your arms high.
We will drag
ourselves and each other
out of the bog.
We will not
forget those that showed
us who they are.
We're almost done
just please keep moving
we're almost done.
It's almost 2021.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
