Missing Mom

A mom’s hug lasts long after she lets go. ~Author unknown

Moms

Are the

Official

Storytellers

Of our lives, and once

They pass on, we become

Aware there’s nobody else

Who knows us and loves us the way

Our moms did. Perhaps that’s why losing

Your mom feels like having your heart cut out.

Those who tell the stories rule the world. ~Author unknown

Storytellers bolster our confidence,

Remind us of our identity,

Preserve our family history.

Other females might step up

To fill the vacancy,

But nobody can

Replace our mom

When she’s gone

From our

World.

Trying to Heal

This I know: there is nothing as lonely as grief. ~Abby Geni, American writer

Friends, it’s hard to grieve.

No one quite knows what to do

To make your pain ease.

 

Everybody has

Different techniques for coping.

Some work and some don’t.

 

Cry and remember.

Find things you enjoy doing.

Let Time bring you peace.

 

Nature can soothe you,

Wrap you in her majesty,

Wash away your tears.
