Stunned
Shocked
Plus hearing months after the fact.
What do I think and feel?
How do I even make sense of this?
This is so much.
Gone too soon!
We hadn’t had our coffee
For some months.
Yet you emailed
Looking forward to seeing me
After my trip.
As I celebrate another year of my life
With its ups and downs
I cannot know how you felt
And I should be grateful.
All I have are questions
And the finality of your death.
Was it a slow erosion
Or did something snap?
Were you too focussed on others’ burdens
That you didn’t see your own
until it was too late?
I also have compassion
For loved ones left behind.
Rest in peace, my friend,
As I try to find some, too.
