- Dear Diana
I saw your post and just wanted to come by and give you some words of love and comfort
I lost my youngest son Jacob to Leukaemia ( AML after a 20 month battle)
so I understand how tired and sad you are feeling ...after you have helped nurse someone that Ill it takes it's toll of you both physically and mentally you need to give yourself time to heal as well
It took me a good 12 months to not be as tired all the time
I know with me It is a daily struggle I miss my Jacob so much my heart aches all the time
but there are better days head for you
love Jacob's mum "Leukaemia Sux www.caringbridge.org/me/jacob

- I feel the pain with you. I lost my mom 6 years ago to cancer. I finally find the man of my dreams at 38 and lose him five years later to sarcoma cancer. Its been 4 weeks now...I have to make myself get out of bed and go to work. I have to remind myself to stop crying and breath.....maybe someday, I won't have to remind myself.

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.
-Grace Noll Crowell
And let me take your hand.

Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;

Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.

When my brother took his own life, and many years later, when my beloved husband of thirty years suddenly died, I brought...How to find the perfect funeral poem

Some poems about death can be dark, with emphasis on the misery of the...Losing my wife during child birth and looking after my 4 young children
