Experiencing Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life wasting away while a person is trying to find their
way, having a very difficult time, not able to see or un-
derstand anything while experiencing it.

Isolating, spending time reliving old memories of their
life and togetherness through the years, finding nothing
to quench or satisfy their sorrow.

Living a life alone, reaching out for a short while, then
grasping at straws, falling deeply within themselves, their
minds grieving intensely.

Sorrow, emptiness, loneliness holding them prisoner, being
unable to see the effects of what they're doing to others
and themselves in this state of mind.

Their loss consuming them so much so they seem to become
heartless, uncaring and selfish, thinking only of their
own feelings and ignoring those of others.

It's a difficult situation for them to be in, an imbalance
in their mentality, although a temporary one, causing them
to be out of touch with others.

Until they can come to terms with what has happened, having
to find a new reality in order to live their lives from now
on, being angry at having to do so, wanting to go back in
time before their loss happened.
