"Do we ever stop having those days that seem just like the day it all happened? when nothing else seems real and all we feel is the pain again? does it ever just not happen any more? "

Why is it when someone you love dies that you replay years worth of memories in your head in a few hours remembering every word, every look, every emotion you felt and witnessed and yet you crave…Continue

I just wrote this, it's rough but captures how I feel just about now:
For all the smiles and laughter,
You gave me through the years,
The love and tenderness,
Hugs & kisses fierce.
I'm grateful that I had
Those 10 glorious years;
So sad they had to end,
Anguished you're not here.
I lit a candle for you darling,
I've cried a thousand tears,
So merry friggin Christmas
And a miserable new year.

I miss you more and more each day;
The pain will never go away.
You left me here all alone;
And now I have an empty home.
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile;
I miss your sweet face all the while.
Each day I cry and long for you;
I don't know what the hell to do.
Come back to me my sweetest friend,
Can you feel my heart again?
Please come back and make me whole,
Heal my empty, broken soul.

How many times can your heart shatter?
...
How many pieces can it possibly become?
How many times can it be torn apart?
Before its beat stops its thrum.
A Thousand pieces it breaks into
A million more to come
A thousand pieces shatter again
Since you were called back home.How many times can your heart shatter?
How many pieces can it possibly become?
How many times can it be torn apart?
Before its beat stops its thrum.A million pieces, sparkling like glitter
Slowly fall to the ground.
Ash to ash and dust to dust
To you I'm forever bound.How many times can your heart shatter?
How many pieces can it possibly become?
How many times can it be torn apart?
Before its beat stops its thrum.By C.E.S.Haynes

Eternity it feels like,
Will pass before I see
Your sweet, loving face
And in your arms I'll be.
So soft a hand you'd say
Held by one so strong.
Now is held by nothing.
Through a life that seems so long.I know I have my children.
My friends I hold so dear.
But there's no one to stand with me
Through my Golden Years.By C.E.S.Haynes

I kneel beside your gravesite
And begin to shake my head...
How does a mother cope with
The truth her child is dead ?But there it is, plain as day
Deeply etched within the stone
My finger moves along the date
You left me here to mournA sigh escapes from deep within
The anguish in my soul
Imploring God for more time with you
His angels from me stoleYet I know it's all in vain
This wish to have you still
A part of me can't let you go
And probably never will...I place a rose next to your name
Brush away the errant leaves
Wrap my arms around my legs
And cry into my sleevesI sing you Happy Birthday
Trying to wipe away the tears
And swallow all my anger
Resenting the missing yearsI long to hear your laughter
We would've shared upon this day
And the quiet moments together
If only you had stayed...I stand because it's time to leave
Life beckons me far from you
But for me, I don't want to go
I don't want to face the truth...That you are never coming home
And begin shaking my head
Because I cannot cope with
The fact that you are....Eva

morgan commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Part 2Linda, yes and yes, I "laugh on the outside and cry on the inside". And the laugh (or just plain conversation) is just part of how I cope for when I have to be around others. But it means nothing. It’s like we…"
morgan commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Part 1 Bless you and thanks to each one of you who keep writing about how you feel and how you cope. I always feel support knowing I am not alone. What I don't get (and not that any one of us can give it) is the answer to how I can…"
Joe Kelly commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."It's a Catch 22, impossible to solve. I accept Her body isn't alive anymore, but I HAVE TO HAVE HER BODY ALIVE AND STILL WITH ME and I want that to be forever. I know that's impossible, but I STILL HAVE TO HAVE IT!!! …"

Keven's mom...I'm so sorry that phone came. There's nothing I can say or do to make this easier on you. Just know we know exactly how you feel. Your…"
"Hello Friends,
As all of you have stated, I too fake my happiness. I laugh on the outside and am crying for him on the inside. I ache so bad that my Julian is not in my life. I just don't understand why God won't take me. Until he does, I…"
"Morgan. I wish I had answers but I am in the very same place. Lost, fake and hollow. I feel worse than I did a year ago I think because I thought I would feel better and don't. Empty and apathetic. I'm tired all the…"
"morgan,
I don't know why this has happened to us, our soulmates being torn from us, but it fucking sucks. Have you considered not acting happy and normal, since that isn't how you feel? Especially if acting that way isn't helping…"
morgan commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Please somebody, tell me how I can continue to do this. I am so depressed. I get up every day and pretend. It's what is making me so depressed. It looks like I am functioning so normally. Now that I have learned…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Hi Danny. Surviving is art which we all need to practice. Today I met a friend whose father is witnessing the similar illness as my mother i.e. late stage cancer. He is also going through the same emotional turmoil as I went in 2018. After this…"
Danny replied to Carla Rose's discussion Lost my Mom a Few Days Ago in the group Lost Without My Mom"Great reply Sandra"
Danny commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Its been 5 years and here I am back on the site. Surviving and functioning but just about. "
