When Grief Isn’t Just Tears

The easiest grief is the tears.

They are so simple you can deal with them.

You get sad you cry.

They make sense.

The other feelings that come with grief are the hardest.

The feeling of nothingness.

Just the raw pain.

The pure sadness.

The not wanting to do anything.

The wanting to run and hide.

The realisation this is now your life.

Forever.

This will not change.

The wanting to do nothing.

The wanting to do everything.

The tiredness.

The insomnia

They are all the feelings that are so hard to deal with.

The crying is the easiest.

The pain, the guilt, the suffering, the denial, the understanding, the realisation.

They are the hardest.

If only grief were just the tears.
