Grief is hard.
It is relentless
And exhausting,
And a constant reminder
Of the void in our lives.
Grief is painful.
A physical pain
Within our chest,
Reminding us
That our hearts have splintered.
Grief is exhausting.
It takes everything
To keep going.
Day after day,
To live for our loved ones.
Grief is isolating.
We feel alone,
As if no one understands.
As if we are drowning,
And no one notices
That we don’t know how to swim.
Grief is scary.
The thoughts in our heads
Get dark and real.
They tell us “just let go,”
As if no one would care
If we slipped away.
But we are not alone.
So many others know this pain,
They feel this void, too.
So say their name.
Tell the stories
Of those you’ve lost.
Tell me about your person,
And smile at the good memories.
Cry for their absence,
You are safe to grieve here.
We are not alone.
We are not alone.
We are not
Alone.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse.
As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my
desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven.
I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are
denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child.
I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power..
I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination..
Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative".
It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
