The Grief Club

This club has very strict guidelines.

You must be in shock.

You must be in despair.

You must be depressed.

You can and most likely will be angry,

bitter and a little hostile.

You must cry frequently.

You must ask "Why?" at least several times daily.

You must be preoccupied and unable to concentrate.

You must wonder where all your friends have gone.

You must wonder if you will ever be totally happy again.

Oh, and you absolutely have to be SAD,

physically and emotionally SAD.

I really hope you never become a member of this club.

You see, this is a grief club.

Members need not apply.

You are not given a choice, but rather are chosen.

There is one more necessary guideline.

Hope. You must have Hope.
