This post is actually accomplishing two things; it's an update as well as an assignment. I recently read the book, "It's OK That You're Not OK", by Megan Devine (thanks for sharing, Sharyn). There are some good tips for expressing creativity during grief. The author also offers an online writing e-course which I am currently taking and one of our assignments is to look through a newspaper and pick out some random words that call to you and make something from that. This is the result:

Imagine

Imagine embracing this heartbreak

Surrender to this pain

Allow, with your heart and soul

Mostly happy memories remain

Imagine the chance to build new

Let your breaking point go

A future not empty, but opened

Just imagine it so
