Not that long ago, my mother died. She was 85 years old and a firecracker until the very end. I loved her very much and I miss even now. It was her birthday this month and it was tough to see it pass without making that phone call back home. I don't think I'll ever be able to view this time of year the same way without her, and I know, she wouldn't want me to think like that, but she's not here to say anything. Anyhow, I wrote this poem while feeling down and depressed. I hope everyone who reads it likes it....
It’s beautiful, thank you for sharing… I lost my cousin, who was a best friend, 2 years ago. This time of year is also very hard for me. Bless your mother, and you.
Thanks for sharing. I lost my mom this past October. All summer, I had been off the tegretol, but when she was put in the hospital the second time and we found out that there was nothing else they could do for her - it was the stress, I assume - that triggered the TN to kick in again. So, it's been 3 months of fighting this pain again. Dad has Alzheimers, so I've been helping take care of him. Making the 3 hr drive to him every week, while trying to grieve - it hasn't been easy - and seems impossible that the TN will ever go back in to remission. Having the pain, being so sleepy from the meds, dealing with dad, trying to be the person I am without all this... This time of year, is difficult for so very many - writing the poem, has been helpful to anyone that reads it, in one way or another - as I'm sure it actually has helped you feel better (slight as it may feel).
Oh....that is very well put! I lost my Dad in 1992 and then my Sister in 1997 and then my Mom in 2005. It's hard to put into words. I will say that when my Mom passed I had way too much time on my hands. When my Dad and Sister passed I still had children to raise and a husband. Perhaps I never grieved properly for them because when my Mom passed it hit me like a ton of bricks and the children were grown and out on their own, I was a mess!
My heart goes out to you in this very difficult time but I know from experience that time does heal the loss!
It must be very hard to deal with physical pain on top of it though. I'm sure this site will be a comfort for you, a place to share with others who know and understand.
