Grief from Journal by Nerida
The prospect of losing a second dad was a deep wrestle , to keep trusting in the goodness of God, in the midst of pain. Grief has brought me face to face with many of the doubts & emotions that often hide away beneath the smooth surface of life.

Lyrics
Here I am again, raging against the dying of your light,
I’m still young but so aged with the sum of my griefs,
Mutilated, a gaping hole in my spirit,
Where my loved ones have been torn away…
Torn away…
Here I am again, trying to walk this road without my legs,
I’m a survivor, but invisible scars have left me close to dead,
Sometimes there’s so much of me that’s broken
That I feel the bitter wind will blow me away…
Blow me away…
And they tell me that to love is the key to life’s meaning,
But they don’t say it’s the door to its pain,
And the thought of facing loss again has left me reeling,
And there’s nothing I can do to make you stay..
Make you stay…
Here I am again, learning to trust the light though the dark
Wraps me suffocating the prayers that try to make it from my heart,
Great healer can you mend a wounded spirit?
Can you hold me till your light of day…
Your light of day is coming…
Can you hold me?
