Everyone grieves in their own way

that’s a fact not a belief…

Which means there is not date of completion

no timeline for our grief…

To all the thought and prayers 

those who’ve suffered a loss might be receiving…

Today I’m grateful to add

this Native American Prayer of grieving:

I give you this one thought to keep

I am with you still…I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone…

I am with you still…in each new dawn.
