I'm not sure why this didn't come across my mail. I'm so glad I tapped your name. I was getting impatient. What a jewel this is. I cried each line...so raw, real, and exposed. A healing balm for you and so many these days. Needs a six star crown! Precious and god-inspired!
Superb offering for this contest, dear Faye!
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the contest,
Sally XOs....xo......xo.....

I like the last couple of storylines in each of your verses. To be alone when you feel grief is difficult. To feel a shoulder unload, because someone has been down that same kind of road, is truly a comfort!

Great entry. Knowing that someone has gone through the pain before and survived must help someone grieving. You have spelled suicide wrong. Best of luck in the contest, cheers, j

This poem flows very well and is broadcasting a good meaning. It is sweet that after your own struggles, you chose to share your pain in order to place open arms around others that are struggling. (suicide is spelled incorrectly).

The repeated line works very well in your poem to emphasise the connection of a shared experience ("It takes one to know one" sort of thing, from which compassion and empathy can be extended to the grieving one). The poem's meter and rhyming is well handled, and the picture choice and black background make for a dramatic impact. Well done.

How many of us are lucky enough to know someone who will gladly share our grief? We admire the Speaker's empathy as expressed in the refrain. You might want to rephrase line 2 of stanza 2.
