It boggles me how when a loved one passes away, other’s are there for you the day it happened and up until the day after the Memorial or Funereal. I’m not taking about just acquaintances and friends, I’m also talking about family members. Some can get ugly, cold and even say hurtful things.
In the universe, there are energies that attribute to life and death. These energies are the balance of the universe. These energies allow continuity in the universe.
my son george age 27 was on his 1st family holiday in spain when his youngest son was swept into the ocean louis was 6 years old, my son jumped in and got to louis sadly both drowned before help arrived the ache in my heart never stops the love in my heart grows with every passing day. i wrote this poem to be read at there joint funerals.
There's strength gained in the enduring of grief; in the conquest of depression begetting sadness; in the bearing of anxieties that deprive us of peace. God grows us in strength as we endure. It is evident with clarity as we look back. Fondness, also, for the growing season as we look back.
Grief can be described in best terms as being is like the ocean.. waves of water.
Small ripples that lap at your toes,
Then ones that rock you just a bit at your knees as you walk as little in,
The bigger ones that topple over your head hit your stomach when it smacks against you
A bad dream...
I count the weeks, days, the hours, the seconds since you left.
I wait for signs that you are near.
For whispers in my ear,
For pictures on my screen.
A light to flicker,
The alarm to scream.
