I share in your loss

I may not have known her,

But I understand how you feel.

When we lose someone we love,

Our emotions become raw.

When we lose another,

Or if a friend does,

It reminds us of the pain we felt

When our own loved one passed.

I am sorry for your loss

Does not quite cover it,

But what else can be said?

There really are no words

To express the fact

That I know exactly what you are going through.

And because of my own hard loss,

I grieve with you.
