I Am So Sorry
For Your Loss

I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your grief.
I am so sorry for your sadness.
I am so sorry for your pain.

I hope that grieving will heal your loss.
I hope that crying will heal your grief.
I hope that love will heal your sadness.
I hope that peace will heal your pain.

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: My cousin's son passed away and I wrote this poem as a way to offer her my condolences.

I should mention that this poem was written for—and posted on—Facebook, way back when I was actually on Facebook, which I haven't been for years...

And this poem was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

However, even though this poem was not written in Salt Lake City, I still have this poem labeled under "My Utah Writing," since the topic of this poem is based upon my family, who live predominantly in Utah.
