Grief Management Poem by Perveiz Ali

No one is immune to grief in nature,
Some may boldly tackle while others freak.
The pain of grief is awful mental anguish,
Let it subside so we can recover our faculties.
Our soul searches for solutions to process grief,
Our bodies react to the stimulus in despair.
The pain must be felt and released, a process,
Experiencing the waves of emotions we feel.
Grief washes over us in intense tidal waves,
We must surf those waves to the calm beach.
The sadness, tears, the angst, weather it all,
Allow it to flush itself out till dissipated.
Overcome the unbearable feelings of grief,
Master the emotions by living in the present.
Dwell not on the now fading past of sorrows,
But prepare now for the joys of the future.
