Fall, just like the image....
fall.
the leaves turn bright colors then just let go.
they let go.
Plumet to the earth.
usually into a puddle or pond.
I am four years from my fathers death,
I am one year from my mothers.
My x-husband died this year.What is this magic door they do thru?
does all the tension disappear?
Do we get to have that long rest?I am tired tonight as I pen this note.
I am sad tonight...
the air is cool and I feel the edge of winter coming.
Even my fish is sad tonight.How was I to know that I would lose someone today.
I had the feeling something was off.
something was just not right.
But such a loss.
I am sad.
I know nothing will make me happy tonight.
I will be sad for a while.
It seems you just have to live through it....
live through it...
live...
breathe through it....
breathe.
Let go....
go.
Breathe...
go...
in..
out breathe.

...wishing I could be more poetic...
Yeah, you breath, in and out, you make your way through the turmoil, and Hold Onto Your Self as best you can.
No doubt there is grief, turmoil, sadness--and
....well, I wonder is that not how it should be? Would we want anything less at our own passing? That people would notice, remember, feel happy for what had transpired, feel sad at what didn't transpire...?
I think just acceptance is the key. Of course, to us, well, it's hard for us to accept anything! Because we have a chemical imbalance (or at least I do!). It's like another layer.
You ask, is all the tension gone? Well, I sure the heck hope so! That's what allows me to open my arms to death, to be so very willing to leave, to be in peace.
Highest and best regards,
Shar
