The feeling is the same –
My heart has been ripped out.
I didn’t think I would ever again
Feel a duplicate hurt like that.
It had been different every other time
Coworkers, friends, family…
But I grew closer to him
Right towards the end.
And I did NOT want him to go!
The pain of losing your parents
Is like no other.
9 years now she has been gone
And almost 8 months now for him.
And I still want to talk to them
Every single day,
And it rips that wound back open.

Your sorrow profoundly touches that area in my heart that still continues to grieve. Thank you for having words to express that which I cannot! Heartwrenching! Mona
Thanks for your kind words. It was a hard one to write, but I needed to get some of the pain out.
Heartbreaking. And honestly, that need to speak to them one more time will never go away
Thank you Drew. There is so much I still want to share with them.
