My wish is that you can find some comfort in these words.

I had read this some time ago, but can't remember if it was here

or on another site.  It was given to me again today.

When I read this it just touched me as so true as my son was
so protective towards me (and his dad).

I felt like it was my Valentine from my son.

Valentine's day will be 7 months that he is gone

physically, but I don't believe he will ever be

truly gone. 

 

 

My mom is a survivor;  Or so I've heard it said.  
But I can hear her crying at night when all others are in bed. 

I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand. 
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand. 

But like the sands on the beach that never wash away..... 
I watch over my surviving mom; "Who thinks of me each day". 

She wears a smile for others.... A smile of disguise! 
But through heavens door's I see the tears flowing from her eye's. 

My mom tries to cope with death, and to keep my memory alive. 
But anyone who knows her, knows it is only her way to survive. 

As I watch over my surviving mom through heaven's open door.... 
I try to tell her that angel's "Protect me now forever more". 

I know that doesn't help her... Or ease the burden that she bears 
So if you get the chance, go visit her... And show her that you care. 

For no matter what she says.... No matter what she feels. 
My surviving mom has a broken heart "That time won't ever heal".

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
