It comes when you least expect it and settles deep in your heart.
Like a roller coaster of emotions, you are laughing one minute and sobbing the next.
Memories twist and turn through your mind bringing joy then intense sorrow.
Distractions help for a time, then you must return to face your reality.
There is no escaping it. You must ride it all the way to the end.
Eventually, in time, the pain will subside and the ride will stop.
Grief.
