<p>This is the poem that we put on the funeral pamphlet for Brad. I often find myself reading this with hope that there is truth in it. It is a beautiful poem and I hope that it brings a little bit of comfort for those like me who feel so lost. <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2803936628?profile=original"><img class="align-center" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2803936628?profile=original" width="250"/></a></p>

<p>I know that they say it gets worse before it gets better and I am experiencing that to the fullest. I find that sleeping is one of the battles I face. I cry and the pain is unbearable at night laying in the bed that we shared for four years. I feel alone although I have friends trying to hold me up but it is hard for them when I have no will to even stand. I am struggling at work because of the exhaustion of no sleep and the struggle I am having to even think about the daily responsibilities…</p>
<p>I know that they say it gets worse before it gets better and I am experiencing that to the fullest. I find that sleeping is one of the battles I face. I cry and the pain is unbearable at night laying in the bed that we shared for four years. I feel alone although I have friends trying to hold me up but it is hard for them when I have no will to even stand. I am struggling at work because of the exhaustion of no sleep and the struggle I am having to even think about the daily responsibilities that I need to accomplish each day and I know that it will bite me in the butt in the long run but I cannot get myself out this rut. I am going to therapy with suggestions of journalism, exercise, and volunteer work as the first step of being able to live my life without him. I miss him so much and feel lost in this world without him. I have a hard time even feeling pleasure from the day to day activities. I am not sure how to heal when the wound I have is so deep.</p>
