Clinging

She is left
     grieving
  with their two kids
       and
  without him.

She is left
     clinging
  to what remains
       of her family
    and to her God
       who allowed him
               to go.

She is left
     behind
        wearing thin
        growing weak
        reaching out
  to the God she loves
     throughout it all
        despite her sadness
        despite her despair
        despite the empty space
                around her
           where her husband
                used to be.

She is left
     learning
  how to live again.
