Sadness.
I’m sad.
Right?
I know I should be sad
And in many ways I am
But not in the ways –
Not for the things –
I am supposed to be.
I am sad for what wasn’t
not for the loss of what was
I am sad for the lost opportunities
I am sad for the relationship
that never really was
I am sad that my expectations
of what we could have been
were never realized.
Yes, I am sad.
And how my sadness manifests…
Well, there is no right way
There is no wrong way.
People grieve in different ways
People grieve for different things
Whose to say we aren’t all grieving
for what could have been?
I do know
that God sits right next to us
when we are sad.
No matter the reason, He sits.
He loves.
He hugs.
And it’s ok to be sad
for what could have been.
“God sits right next to us when we are sad” well actually all the time but I like the phrasing of this.

Thank you so. And you are so right, He does sit with us all the time; I wonder if it’s hardest to remember when we are sad.
