I guess it\'s why we bury or cremate, to do away with the ugliness of death where there is always a scavengers meal.

It\'s so sad to see the remains of what was once a beautiful being, now broken and still.

So relateable. As images flash across before our eyes like unfamiliar and otherwise welcome distractions we are unable to comprehend them in our mental fog of worrying concern.

Neville cracked something there when he suggested grief for different folks will be in different ways - a good summation of your carefully constructed and compassionate (Your word appropriate here) poem which covers that neatly, Fay.

Grief is difficult . You expressed this beautifully , Fay )

Although I guess we can experience grief in other areas of life , aswell

I have been through trauma and that has caused feelings of grief in me ... it’s a difficult feeling

I think we all grieve in our own inimitable and largely unique way ..
...
although there is little doubt there are social and cultural variances ...
...
You have clearly identified here with and because you are one .. poetically crafted a rather special dedication to loss and associated grief ................................................ x

I became quite sad reading your words today for you really captured the loss. Compassion does nothing more than ease the flow of tears.

To lifts oneself from the depths of loss and soldier on in faith shows the true mettle of character.

Losing a loved one is like losing a part of yourself. The only comfort is knowing that they\'re going to a better place and no longer suffer in pain. Wonderful write Fay. ; )

\'Scent-soaked written poetry will vibrate
as this clandestine rose
speaks its message from faraway hands\'..
Poetic immersivity - worded, as-ever: so quintessentially decadent!
memorably indulgent reading, dear Fay
thank you

The beauty opening into life as time passes. Wonderful words Fay.

Fabulous Emma Sandys picture, she certainly has a Pre-Raphaelite style about her works of art.

if its okay with you ... I\'m gonna roll with Dusk Arising\'s take on these exquisite words you have gifted us today ... the old fella seems to have taken the words outa my mouth, so he did ...................

I do by the way, only very rarely use the E word these days ... but it seems quite relevant in this case

The flowering of a young maiden bloom. Scented and bejewelled with colour blossoms into fertility.
Tickled by beeswing vibrations then tenderly touched for silent moments.

The private life of one blossom among many which adorn our gardens.
