Through the Fire
"The only way beyond this experience is through this experience." (Miller, 1995)
Is there an end to this grief? Will there ever be a time when this experience of loss will no longer cause pain? Why is it taking so long? I should be back to normal by now. I shouldn't be hopelessly lost all the time.
And yet I go through this searing pain everyday as if you died just yesterday. How many more "little" deaths do I have to feel in my soul? Until I am no more? Until I am reduced to an unfeeling clod, numbed to the pain, without a heart or soul?
