It has been very difficult. She was my best friend and the last family member (from my past) to be in my life. This is a lonely time of adjustment. I am so thankful she is in Heaven and pain free, but I do feel a void where she once was. It has only been 10 days so this is still pretty early. Thanks to those of you who have shown kindness and encouragement to me as I grieve. I wrote this poem today to express it: In the good times and the bad In the happy and the sad Christ is worthy of my praise So my hands to Him I raise Though I may not understand Certain things which He has planned He is there through thick and thin Matters not what shape I'm in Though at times my heart may ache He'll not leave me nor forsake He gives grace to ease my plight He brings sweet songs in the night Brothers, sisters who have cared Words of comfort with me shared They have helped to ease my sorrow As I press on towards tomorrow 1 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm not being too personal, turtle, but I have stored this little poem (know you like poems) from a little book of poems I have. I have sent it once before to a great friend who was grieving the loss of his loved one, and he told me it was just like he felt. I hope it may grant you a small touch of "It is well with my soul" (I cried/sobbed like a baby at my mom's burial) Treasured Moments by Ron Tranmer I treasure every moment you spent in life with me. I hoped to have you longer, but its not meant to be. You left this world so suddenly. I think my heart went too. I feel so lost and lonely, and I cry from missing you. I know you're in a better place. I know you're happy there. I know one day I'll join you, but the wait is hard to bear. My heart feels like it's breaking as I try to carry on. You were my life, my everything, but now sweetheart, you've gone. I'll count the years until the time I join you there above. Where then we'll be, eternally, together again my love..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure describes the way I feel. I read it aloud to my son with an emotion-filled voice. Hearing how much you wept at your mom's burial, I know you can understand and empathize with my sorrow. Thanks, brother. May God bless you for your kindness. It is well with my soul. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
