Grief

It comes in like the waves in an ocean.
Sometimes, like the high tide,
powerful, aggressive, loud,
it takes over all of you.
Sometimes, calm and silent it is,
like calm waves, and doesn't make noise
but always present in the background
making heard its bitter voice in all you do.
Like the waves, we've no control
over how grief appears and when.
The wind, the weather, the temperature,
In our control are none.
The high tide may wash you away
Take you away from the shore.
Drown you deep down
Into the ocean of grief, alone.
The slower waves appear kind
But hurt nevertheless,
Bit by bit, all your prints,
will be visible less & less.
Nothing shows on the outside
While it hurts deep down
You carry on with day-to-day chores
While inside, you silently drown.
Too many things in life
are far beyond our control
While the waves try to wash us off,
We still try to stay afloat.
This reflection on grief is incredibly poignant and relatable. It is often said that we carry our emotional burdens in our physical bodies, and finding healthy outlets for that tension is vital during the healing process. Many people find that heat therapy and quiet spaces provide a much needed moment of clarity and peace when dealing with loss. I recently discovered a helpful resource for those looking to Relax, Recover & Recharge | Mobile Sauna Rental in Minnesota that focuses on this exact type of holistic restoration. This guide explains how mobile sauna units can be brought directly to your home to create a private sanctuary for physical and mental recovery. It is a wonderful option for anyone in the region who needs a convenient way to decompress and find a moment of stillness during difficult times. Thank you for sharing such an honest and supportive perspective on such a challenging journey.
