Is This the End or a Bend in the Road?

I speak often on the significant role one’s perspective plays in the grief process, and this poem by Helen Steiner Rice is a prime example of that. At this point, do you see the road ahead of you as the end (i.e., of happiness, of your life as well) or can you widen your vision and see the road, no matter how tough the terrain right now, as a bend in the road which will eventually lead to glimpses of sunshine and moments (if not seasons) of happiness? No matter how tough the terrain, keep walking and looking for the “bend.”
