My song “It’s Not Forever” reminds me how I was certain I would grieve forever. My son’s death changed my life. I’m not sure how I found my way out of Hell, but I am thankful. I must have been carried.

You say your pain will always be there
and every day is a nightmare
I remember so well
Living with that kind of hell
–
It’s not forever
It feels like it’s never going to change
I once felt that way
Today I see
Hope carried me
–
After he left, your life was shattered
he was all that mattered
When life seems unreal
It’s hard to imagine you could heal
–
It’s not forever
It feels like it’s never going to change
Time could not sever my love
Today I see
Love carried me
–
-A long time ago
I felt hopeless
but I know. . .
–
It’s not forever
It feels like it’s never going to change
Time could not sever my love
Today I see
you carried me

The word “always” is similar to “forever” and represents extreme thinking. “Never” is also extreme, being the opposite.
