My Soul is Leaking
Special days become huge triggers for grieving hearts. Birthdays can be especially difficult.
Special days become huge triggers for grieving hearts. Birthdays can be especially difficult.
The human voice is powerful. Our ears are attuned to the pitch and cadence of the voices of those we love. We hear them in our hearts and our dreams.
While on the road to Heaven
The streets are paved with Love
The lights that shine the way for us
Are made by God Above
Sweet music fills the air around...
As Angels sing their song
Our family there to meet us
When loss hits, we feel vulnerable. This is natural and common, but uncomfortable. Life feels shaky, even scary now.
Having lost 4 family members in just over 3 years, my world was turned upside down. I felt an ache in my heart and in my arms. I knew they were still in my heart but I needed something I could physically hold or actually see to comfort me. Although nothing brought them back or took away the pain, having some tangible reminders of them eased the pain.
AT THE KITCHEN TABLE
Mom sat across the table
From me, and altho I had my head down
I knew from sideways glance that hers
Was too.
We hadn't even buried Dad yet
He'd died just yesterday
My breakfast fixed for the two of us, inadequate
Barely touched, just sorta pushed around
The plate for the food wasn't just
