A Short Poem I wrote...Hope it helps a bit!

Last Wednesday, I was feeling particularly sad. I've always been a hack poet  so I wrote this

little ditty down to vent some sorrow and feel a bit better. It helped.  Hope it can help you

YOU TOOK HER FROM ME GENTLY   M.Royer  Fri, Jan 22, 2016

You took her from me gently, on that shining springtime day.

It was warm, the sky was bluer when she went upon her way

She was quiet in her exit, never slammed a single door

when you took her from me gently, on that springtime  

April morn.

And, now I go to visit at the place where she was laid

and I talk to her of many things, the plans that we had made

and I water every blade of grass  with all the tears I  cry

and I bid her “see you later” and I never bid Goodbye.

When I kneel low at her headstone, I touch it lovingly

and I always lose composure as I speak of things to be

Of the morning or the evening or the night when I succumb

To lay beside my bride, at last. When two again are one.

Oh Lord, I love you dearly, as you safely watch our souls

and release us from our earthly cares and all our earthly woes

But, most of all you lift us up to grander glorious days.

when my bride and me are standing in a higher holy place.

The Wheels on (My Grief) Bus Go Round and Round...

New Year - 2025!At the start of the year I returned to Thailand for another medical mission.  This was my fourth trip for this and I was somewhat ready/prepared for the heightened emotions.  Not sure why...no real connection to Jen or her accident, but in the past these trips offer some extended alone time, away from others, away from people that speak the same language and as such seem to bring the thoughts back to the forefront.  Strangely, the same levels of emotionality were not there.  Not…See More

Speed Weasel commented on Dottie's status
"Dottie, do you find the anniversary dates to still be as emotionally difficult as the first couple times?  I find that some years, it is very fresh and raw, others almost (almost) slip by without fanfare."

"So sorry for you with his passing. That is rough, that there has been so much time between the initial diagnosis and the final moments.  On top of the 'normal' grief, you may also start to feel relief, which is likely to add to the…"

My husband passed away

My husband passed away last Saturday after a long illness. His memorial service is next week. We have three boys, ages 14, 11, and 6. I'm glad I found this place. It seems to be a place of great caring and support. I actually registered here a while before my husband's passing, as I was grieving for his loss after he entered a nursing home. He had been there since the end of 2008, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease in 2006 and deteriorating quickly. He was only 58 when…See More
