Into Denial
Denial
No, it’s not
It didn’t
Happen
You were here
Now
Denial
you are not
not denial
You were robust
Always strong
Our light
Joking
Denial
With you we were
Safe and then
Fading
Denial
You seemed
Distant
Denial
I’m not here now
And you’re not there
Not
There
Not…..
A memory left of you
But we remember
Always
Always, we remember.

Simon's still stanza 
It is difficult when we lose someone. I think you captured the essence of that with your poem, Simon.
Yes, it was about a family in grief and denial. It was so palpable.
I’m sorry for whoever’s loss you’re remembering here. It would be a lie to say you forget them. You learn instead to go beyond their memories and live in your present. Stay strong
Aren’t you sweet, Pradita. I was touched by the grief of another. Two funerals in one day is quite an immersion. I don’t think either person will be forgotten at all.
