Barley Hanging On

Barely Hanging On is the transition in grief where we find ourselves torn between holding on and letting go. This is a time of transition, filled with quiet thoughts like “if only,” “what if,” and “just one more moment.” “I don’t want to let go”. 
We look for anything that might ease the pain or undo what has happened. Yet in this reaching lies the quiet knowing that this is the part of the descent through grief, where the moment of release slowly becomes inevitable.
