Michael,
Thank you for sharing this.
Poetry is a wonderful way to purge deep seated feelings.
It must be something to do with the way in which the very search for the next line or word requires looking at the experience in depth but at the same time, one step removed.
I know it's something you are used to doing but the mechanics are always similar.
There is always a lot of anger involved following anothers decision to leave this life as somebody's always left to pick up the pieces and deal with the guilt.
I hope that your work has helped you and I am sure that it will offer some help to others.
You have my love and respect my friend,
Keep supplying the words.
Roger
