She left peacefully
Silently in the night
When I heard the news
I was instantly
Inundated with memories
And questions I could never ask
I felt numb and had
The worst pain I’ve ever had
All at the same time
It has been nearly ten years
And every bit of pain is still there
I wonder will it ever go away

Maybe not go away completely but dull sightly with time. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much.
Sometimes it takes a lot of time to come to grip with our loss.
I think being back in my childhood home just makes me miss both Mom and Dad more. Thanks Sadje!
Take care! So true that where we live affects our thinking.
😊
Hopefully with time less pain and more focus on fond memories.
With Mother’s Day coming up next weekend I am bombarded with ads for the perfect Mother’s Day gifts and I miss out on giving her something. Thanks Sandy!
Perhaps you can still consider what you might have chosen for her….that you know she would have enjoyed?
I can think of many things she would have liked. Thanks Sandy!
You are welcome.
My dad was an avid reader. I always think how much he would have enjoyed having a Nook or Kindle to download new books instantly.
My dad had one and read constantly.
Nothing as difficult as losing a loved one. Mothers are especially difficult.
Thank you Drew… one of these days it will get a little easier I hope.
