What does grief look like?
A cleaned out refrigerator
An organized closet
A misspelled word
A forgotten conversation
An empty stomach
An overgrown appetite
A light left on in the kitchen
An overdue library book
A burst of tears
An expressionless face
A clutched blanket
A worn out teddy bear.
They say grief takes time
And time takes time
Decades of dreaming about you
Years of wanting you
Months of planning for you
32 weeks growing you
The rest of my life without you
yet loving you
So how long will my grief take?
