I have endured all the hell that grief has thrown at me and I am still alive. Never knew I loved her so much till she died. I am really enjoying being part of poems and quotes. I love the replies to poems more than the number of one to five that they score with. We have those that reply with one no matter what kind of poem you write, lol. My dad's quotation of, "It sure feels good after it quits hurting" has become so true in my life. Grief affected me in so many ways and it feels good not to be an emotional jellyfish, today.
