Well not really understand the grief, but more work through it. In my experience grief is a very effective mind alterer. I don't wish for grief, but I don't run away from it. Kind of like being told you have cancer, or your pregnant. Everything comes into focus. Only grief is a telescope looking at 1,000 of varying distances. It forces me to focus on each aspect individually, instead of as a whole. That takes time. I love these poems.
