Mourning

We’re all experiencing such unusual circumstances at the moment and living through strange times with no real blueprint of how to get through such a scary and uncertain change in everyday life. I have so many thoughts but I’m struggling to process them so I thought I’d share a sort of poem that I’ve written. I’d love to know what you think and if you can relate.

I’m mourning the freedom I used to have

I’m mourning the quality time spent with loved ones

I’m mourning how easy it was to buy the food and supplies I need

I’m mourning regular walks and fresh air

I’m mourning the cute Spring outfits I won’t get to wear

I’m mourning the fun occasions I had planned

I’m mourning the holidays I won’t get to go on

I’m mourning life as I knew it and although I’m struggling to see a light at the end of the tunnel I’d rather this than to be mourning anyone I love
