Note to Self and for Those Who Need to Read This Today!

“You will not always hurt like this.”
These words are true.
If they do not reach your heart today,
do not reject them:
keep them in your mind.
One morning – not tomorrow perhaps,
but the day after tomorrow,
or the month after next month.
One morning, the dawn will wake you
with the inconceivable surprise:
Your grief will have lost
one small moment in its force.
Be ready for the time
when you can feel for yourself
that these words are true:
You will not always hurt like this.
