Losing a loved one is rough,
Putting up with the emotions you are showing.
But as they say, when the going gets tough,
The tough gets going.

Moving on is the toughest part,
Nobody wants to go through it.
However, all you need is heart,
And it will be easier, just a bit.

It helps to know that they are in a better place,
But, that’s hard to do during such a tough time.
See, that’s what’s so great about the human race,
There’s always another mountain to climb.

Though we don’t know when our time will come,
accepting the time is easier said than done.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

this was really nice and something I'd want to read in a memoir or elegy;

Kudos!
