Commemoration of loss and grief

Commemoration of grief and loss

Today is May, 4th
in my country, it’s Remembrance Day
for the victims of the Second World War
to remember for our liberation day.
A day with an extra black edge
now everything is shipped again
in an unprecedented warfare
so many years after the date
What causes extra heartburn.
Memories are being picked up
and rearranged to ratio.
How much can a person have
how resilient can we be
So many victims are being made again
recalled the memories with so much care and pain.
All those generations still recovering from the trauma
after the war came to an end, here in 1945.
Triggered by all images and news reports
the sadness and pain on all those faces
the feelings of powerlessness too, go check it out.
It’s extra feelable today here in this little country,
where the weekends are still felt.
So many people spontaneously helping hands
offer to be willing to face the pain even now
to soften as much as possible.
War and trauma go hand in hand.
Even if in due time peace will prevail.
The repercussions will definitely follow.
For everyone who has dealt with it
With warfare and going for it
peacekeeping missions and offering support
in all the war zones.
How can we best support each other?
Offer each other an open hand and heart
allowed to lean on each other
for some warmth and understanding in all areas.
We need each other to heal
to be able to face everything.
Let’s just be,
You can still forbid so much,
if we don’t want to go for it together
will that have an impact on our existence.
It will have its downfall for everyone.
What it does to you and how to process it.
Only from here can you restore the balance
in your own emotions and feelings as much as you can.
We are all connected
even though it might not feel like it at the moment.
By love and compassion, we are bound
in our solidarity against all violence.
We as a nation have already shown how to demonstrate this
even though not everyone will show it that way
and there must also be lessons to learn
that only if we go for it together
We never recover from great losses;
we absorb them and change them through processing
we as humans in different,
often kinder people, than humanity.
If we think about it,
can we take comfort from this,
while the future may feel uncertain,
what will always be sure and essential is our love.
The love I have for myself.
The love I have for my family and friends.
The love I have for you,
even though I may not know you personally.
It is essential. Yes.
Love is the only essential ingredient
What our world can’t live without.
Not now, not anymore.
And that’s how it will be,
