Except from” Girl Meets Class” by Karen Gillespie

 

My Aunt Cornelia gave  me a book on grief.

It spoke of the various stages a person

had to suffer through before they healed from a loss.

It was a roundabout journey.

You might think you’ve conquered denial

and graduated to anger,

only to find yourself shoved back into shock.

It seemed unfair,

like a game of sorry when someone landed

on your square

and made you start all over again.

 

Michael Brown calls this the “emotional salad”.
