Grief…​

Usually burying its way into the lungs, which makes it hard to breathe.

And since the lungs are so close to the heart, it also causes heartbreak.

But that’s only because we let our Monsters get in the way, and, Monsters love to embellish in the pain.

They use grief to make you feel like you lost something…or someone.​

And you could believe that lie if you want.

You could let the grief worm its way through the rest of your body, and it will test you and tear you apart at the seams, and that’s when grief sets in like a disease.

The next thing you know you’re slipping down your slippery slope of no return.

Hormones start gettin’ all crazy.

And your body starts to ache and your aches make you feel frustrated, and your frustration leads to anger and mood disorders, and those disorders push people away, which makes you feel even more frustrated cuz now you feel lonely, and it’s a vicious cycle, ‘cuz once you start slippin’ down your slippery slope, it’s hard to stop, ‘cuz momentum gets you by the balls, and that’s when you fall, really hard.

And it’s hard to get back up.

But you do have the power to stop.

Just don’t let your Monster get control from the start.

So sure, people die.

But it’s part of life.

Thinking you had someone forever, now that’s where the real fall is.

Putting your happiness into anything outside yourself first is the only reason your Monster makes you feel left out.

And that’s grief for ya…

Makin’ ya’ feel like you’re separate from yourSelf.

​So the fact is, the only way to find peace and to cure the disease of grief, is to love unconditionally…

Forgive easily.​

And when love leaves, don’t see it as a loss, see it as a win, because we all know our dead friends are far more powerful where they’re at, than where they’ve been.​

So use them to your advantage, and ask them for things.

Ya, dig?
