Dealing with Loss and Change

Dealing with loss and change can be very hard...  These past few months, I've certainly had my share. In cases of extreme stress, it's hard for me to take my own advice that I dole out so easily to others... As many of you know, poetry is one of the ways I work through my challenges. I tend to like happy endings- but I find that happiness and peace are things we have to continually seek out and maintain for ourselves, sometimes slowly, one step at a time. To talk about or even acknowledge difficulty can be one of those steps, especially for those expected to consistently display ongoing, unfaltering strength.
