Poems Of Comfort In Your Time Of Need

By Tiffany Gill


Searching for refuge and nestling in the reassuring warmth of a loved ones arms, is assuaging in the midst of darkness. Many people find themselves wanting to be separated from the ones they love during their darkest hour. They often feel it is easier to suffer alone than to bear their anguish on their sleeve. By reading poems of comfort, they are able to see that they are not alone with their pain. They feel comforted that others have walked that path before them. Through their passionate expression, they will begin to receive their own personal healing and growth, one poem at a time.

Feeling the heart felt words, expressed by someone else who has experienced similar pain and suffering somehow seems to make things more bearable. They seem to be able to put into words, the depth of the agony that you have endured. It is almost as if they are taking pen to task with your emotion.

Encompassing your inability to grieve, they begin the process of inner healing. They usually begin with the cause of your distress, whether it is the loss of a job, self worth, the loss of a family pet or a loved one. Perhaps you are still in denial regarding your loss. By allowing yourself to focus on the object of your grief, you allow yourself to feel your loss. You can not truly heal and move on, if you do not allow yourself the ability to grieve.

Feeling your loss, while burdensome, is part of the course of action that is required to move forward. By assisting you to work through your loss, hurt, anger and pain, you begin to release the anguish and start the process of healing. Many of these quatrains facilitate working through the negative emotions to bring you to reclamation.

Many people find themselves attempting to bargain, through emotional appeals and petitions. They begin to feel that possibly, they could change things, if only they could go back and do things differently. All the while, being fully aware that it is impossible. But in that moment, for that brief period of time, you could cause the past to change and make your anguish disappear.

The uniqueness of depressive poetry is that you are alone in your suffering. You may feel that you are alone and that you are clearly the only person who has ever felt devastation such as this. These compositions present the pain of the writer into words that substantiate your depression. Once you feel that you have been understood, you are able to see more clearly the way to work through the obstacles.

Finding peace in lyrical words of acceptance, you begin to see that your life will move forward even though you have endured immense emotional pain and loss. Although you will continue to feel the loss, you have come to the point where you are able to continue on your journey. You may find it easier to gain this acceptance by knowing that others have endured during this process.

By understanding the written words of others, who have walked the same broken-hearted path, you will begin to find healing. Allow yourself to bathe in the warmth of the word that was written to aid you in the healing process. Find consolation in the midst of loss through reading poems of comfort.
