Life's Transitions

Life standing all around, amidst the turmoil of death. Managing life's transitions is not easy, it's barely manageable. Walking day by day through the sorrow of death brings gradual solace, and peace at times. Tears suddenly splash out, unable to be contained any longer, tears of love, respect, friendship. A friend so close to my heart, gone, and it hurts to know I can't be with him for a long, long time. Sorrow mounts and builds, then like the tide, washes over me - the sand. Taking away a little each time of the grief, allowing me to see the sun shine once again, possibly tomorrow.
