    Naomi, you have shared what, I am sure, is how many of us feel about loss for members in this community. As writers' we analyse all emotional states; grief being one of them. Death is often a taboo topic in day to day life, but we write about death - and I like to think we are, as a result, prepared for it - if that is at all possible?

    Thanks, for your support x

      Mr Darcy,
      I don't think I am ever prepared for the death of a friend or family memeber or anyone really. As much as I write about it.. I suppose eventually we do learn to cope with it, but this year has taken a lot out of us all here on PnQ and me personally..

      Thank you for reading..

      Andrea - hugs back. You are such an inspiration with how strong you are for your daughter. No matter how tough it is or how much you have days where you you just wish it was all a dream, you h ave held in there.
      I am sorry for everything you are facing. I should have reached out earlier, however, I have no clue what to say when this happens.. No matter how often we say we are sorry, it wont ever make the situation fixed..
      I do hope you reach out and get any help you need when you need it and don't bottle it all up..

    Nams, death is a b*****, its cruel at times. Snatching away the innocents, loved ones before their time. Other times it's a release for those deeply ill. It's hard to see that when we are grieving. The fact you feel the way you do says how much you care and how much you hurt over these losses. Death is as much a part of life as life itself. This world is continually dying off and renewing with the seasons. Please dont close off, we are here for you and we are in this together. Hugs-

    A very deep write, with words expressing grief that fellow poets, of the toughest times. You have written this piece with a raw edge and it just flows as if you were saying it, a little like a letter in someway.

    Something none of us can escape, which is the saddest part of living

    anyway a brilliant piece of writing:0
    Much love and hugs, M :)x

    The author of this piece states right at the beginning that it's not even poetry. However I think it is poetry in its truest, raw form.

    "We break, we crumble, but we pick ourselved up,
    we straighten our path, only for Death to come knocking."

    This is poetry indeed.

    That the author feels so much for the loss of others that she has most likely never met and never will is very touching.

    very thoughtful and well written 4 points
