Poem # 24




 It is
strange
&
blasphemous,
to say
I
have benefitted
from
the grief
of
my child’s
death.

It is
also
the
truth.





How is that possible?  Because in all that grieving is the rebuilding of a shattered life and mixed in is greater understanding, deeper feelings about everything, including joy.  I also understand my clients better because I have been there.
