third mourning
..we have a place in our heart..
..where those who have left us..
..go to when they leave..
..that.s why our chests ache and become so heavy when they first leave us..
..we have to get used to..
..the shift of weight..
..(i will be there with you in a while)..
..(thank you for spending your life with me)..

The "shift of weight" idea was brilliant and so insightful. A perfect definition of grief and heartache in four words...

just a poetic theory.. may be true though.. that was a traumatic time in my life losing my cat of 19 years.. she stayed as long she could.. she was my baby.. I loved her so much (if I have any idea what love is) but if she didn't go into the group and into the void I'm sure part of her spirit is still with me.. I see her in dreams often.. and I believe dreams are a dimension between life and death.. also just another poetic theory.. who knows really..

I can relate to this one... Once something becomes a part of you and it leaves, the pain is never completely gone, it just becomes bearable with time. Great write!
