Mourning a loss but celebrating a victory.
The world keeps spinning but yet time stands still.
Seeing more clearly even though tears blur my vision.
Feeling the need to grieve alone and also feeling the need to be surrounded by family.
Having dulled but yet heightened senses.
Being heavenly minded but being more intentional about living on earth.
Reminiscing over the past and clinging to hope for tomorrow.
Incredible sadness and unbelievable joy.
Considering the promise filled sunrise and the finality of a peaceful sunset.
Feeling closer to my loved one that has passed when we have never been further apart.
Weeping, mourning, laughing and rejoicing.
A mortal body dies and an immortal spirit lives forever.

This is a poem I wrote a few years ago after I lost my dad. It has ministered to me often over the years and I have had the opportunity to share it with people who are also processing grief. I pray it blesses every reader!
