Grief.

Grief comes not only in death,

but any loss.

A loss of a person,

a loss of a pet,

or a loss in yourself.

People tend to quote grief,

but do we ever really look,

into what it truly means?

These are what we have known to be the five stages of grief,

but I speak for few

when I propose a sixth.

Recognition.

While I do not have the words,

to put into this one,

it's never easy

to put a quote of Recognition.

Recognition can be meant

for really scenario;

but when it's grief,

there's simply not a way

to put a handle

on Recognition.

If you can overcome grief,

and nobody remembers your sixth stage,

I will remember your sixth stage.

And so will your loss.

Reconnect, Recognize, Accept.
