Grief ...

It lurks in the darkness.... waiting

as it numbs you first ..

Then the never ending "to do " list

Call the Family.. call the Friends

get a Preacher book a Church

choose the Flowers and an Outfit

what about Music what about Doves..?

Sounds almost like a Joyous occasion at first ..

Then "IT" hits you ..
When you least expect..
Like a Semi Truck or a Train
FULL...
SPEED AHEAD
Coming out of the Dark

A quiet Calm or maybe Exhaustion
A new you .. you "Manage" you "Cope"

then BAAAAMMMM
you come Unglued
you want to Scream but you have No voice
you want to Run
but there's no where to Hide ..
the Pain will Follow

This .. this Pain

has become my Life Sentence ..
No Matter how much "I move on .. move forward"

I can Cling to the Memories but never make New ones

not with You anyway ..

I hear your voice in my head it's replace by Haunting words
instead of Comforting ones..
the Good videos have Gone
Replaced by Nightmares and Heart Wrenching Visions

This.. this PAIN is my new reality
On teh verge of losing what sanity I have

( these are only words but its all I have)

Amber's Momma. What a powerful poem. How very true. You summed it up well. Someone told me the day our daughter died that "this is the easy part....it gets much worse." They were experienced...and they were correct. That numbness is really not a bad thing!

Louise, Jilly's mom
