do not stand at my grave and weep.

Presumably' by Mary Elizabeth Fyre.

This is my first ever poem I am making. This is a poem about coping with loss and it illustrates the natural human reaction of denial to grief. One of the early stages of a trauma experience is denial. Grief is an overwhelming emotion and it’s not unusual to respond to the intense and often sudden feelings by pretending the loss or change isn’t happening. Denying it gives you time to more gradually absorb the news and begin to process it. This is a common defense mechanism and helps numb you to the intensity of the situation.

As you move out of the denial stage, however, the emotions you’ve been hiding will begin to rise. You’ll be confronted with a lot of sorrow you’ve denied. That is also part of the journey of grief, but it can be difficult.

Thank you for reading my opinion on the poem. You are free to interpret in any way that you want and tell me in the comments section. I enjoy reading your comments.
