4-The poem talks about how losses aren't always disasters, we can get through them. And even if they were disasters, they aren't hard to overcome. The writers mentions memories of sadness and love.

5-She approaches her troubles slightly and positively and then all at once ending more negative than it started. She mentions loss in a sidelong manner and doesn’t dive straight in with her troubles like losing her home or people she loved
