grief does not have to be
judged or justified
public or private
avoided or denied
it is real
it is authentic
and it is yours
grief does not need to be
compared or minimized
it is legitimate
and is currently housed in you
it will not always be a tenant
occupying a very large room
one day it will be stored in the drawer of a dusty dresser
in the corner of an unvisited room
or it may give notice and leave
reserving the privilege to visit again
however grief appears
be kind to it,
to yourself,
and to the time you both need to learn
to exist
together
