Hopes and Dreams Lost

Today I touched what you left behind,

Oh, so many memories attached to it all.
I gently rub my fingers across the last shirt you wore,

And try to inhale your remaining scent embedded in the fabric.
Packing and sorting your life, your hopes and dreams that will never be...

What am I searching for among this earthly stuff?
Perhaps trying in vain to recreate that which is lost, And I want to pretend so hard that yesterday never happened….
I remember the words of Jesus, “In my house are many mansions…”

Prepare my heavenly place next to you, oh so close, Where you will always be within the reach of my embrace…

Your Mom forever…

Jesse David's Mom

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
