Balancing grief and hope


Whether that which you have built 
Slowly loses its vitality, 
Due to lack of maintenance 
Or is irrevocably harmed by a sudden event, 
It can prove challenging to look beyond the loss 
To the future that’s been opened 
By that unexpected vacancy. 
We grieve, of course, 
And quite possibly always will, and yet — 
We balance grief by remaining open 
To the possibilities that lie ahead.
