The “Art of Grieving” background-As my family grieves the loss of a relative who was close to our hearts, I have been forced to take a trip back down memory lane. Part of this trip is walking through the door of grieving. I hope that this poem brings comfort to those of you who are going through grief of any kind. Blessings from on high!!

The ART of Grieving

Grief-it soon becomes your friend.

Opens you up and says “Amen”.

Takes you to places never explored.

Opens up doors previously abhorred.

Resolves the past.

Welcomes the new.

It’s the art of grieving.

Refreshing as dew.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Revelation 21: 4
