Stages of Grief

I really loved how you wrote one word, then proceeded on explaining the reason for feeling that emotion. It's a sad one, but I did enjoy reading it. 5/5!

Wow.. I don't know what to say.. The poem meant so much. It was beautiful, powerful.. I felt it through my heart and then when I ready the bottom.. It was like Bam! Tears! I give you props for coping and slowly moving on.. I have two kids of my own and don't know what I would do without their father and so for that you have my respect 120%. also I love how you added the last part

"Smile, just a facade
To hide the stages of grief
Memories are no consolation
Tomorrow is never promised"

You are an amazing writer, talented, strong, respected and loved!!

Even though this was based on a terrible terrible tragedy....I must say I LOVE THIS POEM....I mean honestly I cant desribe how much I love it..I want to say how sorry I am first about what happened, but putting that aside i just want to touch on this piece..

I truly loved how you titled it stages of grief..people dont realize how powerful grief actually is. And the way you plotted this out was crazy..I was just nodding my head like "Ok, I been there..oh yup been there too"...my favorite part was acceptance...then the smile...MAN! I thought that was getting over grief, but you're right...its still all a part of it!..I really liked this Rach! On a positive note, this tragedy inspired a truly great write out of you!

I guess this one is very close to you... from your words one could feel the anger and remorse that one feels on losing someone so close ...

Denial
Things nightmares are made of
Now a haunting reality....
Never thought this would happen to me

^^ its very hard to realise the truth after losing a loved one... we keep hoping that they would come back...

Anger
Toward a heartless person
for taking a life in cold blood
Too young and loved to die

^^ anger we feel sometimes at ourselves too for letting it happen... the frustration of not being able to do anything is torturous...

such beautiful yet touching write ...

I am so sorry for the grief and anger you must feel. You did an excellent job portraying the stages of grief. *gives you a great big hug and shares tears with you*
