Shoulders molded she sits in form of question mark-- "Why?" is what her body asks... the pain is etched upon her face her smiles are forced and painted and behind her eyes lies nothing of the joy I knew her eyes always mirrored HIM-- and now they look as his did, vacant and unseeing as she moves slowly through her lifeless life without him. (I don't know how to reach her, Dad... I don't know what to do... I wish that you could tell me how to bring her home to us while she wishes herself to be with you...) Mom, I want to comfort you... I want to give you life as you gave me... I want to rock her gently but she stiffens at any touch as if happiness were blasphemy to his memory... We miss you Mom. We need you. Come home? |

This tears at my heart, what love is written in your words. Give her time, and continue to love and be there for her. Take care |

Oh, Serenity~ As tender as anything I'll read this night~ Touch her gently with his remember ... let her grieve her grief ... talk of him to her still~ For all that she is feeling be aware~ It won't ever be the same for her either, honey~ Be gently loving ... and remember to talk her memories with her~ Tomorrow's not always brightest ... when the sun has set for the heart~ Time, gentle time ... will bring her back to you~ *Special hugs* sent for you and for Mom~ I love ya'~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

serenity Your words sent a chill down my spine and your grief and torment were felt vividly throughout your words. So sorry am I to hear of your loss and I'm sure your Mum has so much love around her at this difficult time, I guess her grief is clouding her thoughts and not allowing the love to envelop her. My thoughts are with you and your family. I will write to you soon. Take care........Sue Suetang |

Just keep trying! Your children will most likely be the first to bring a smile back to her face. You have been very strong during this time in your life. Remember to take some time for yourself. |

Dear Serenity, a very tender write, but I will tell you true, regardless of how they are acting, it is shock, and will take about six months to ease off. It will run the gauntlet of sadness, grief and yes, even being mad for leaving..just be there, for her, for you and for your Dad...very gentle tender smile |

serenity, you really wonder what is behind those sightless eyes. And you are hurting twice as much with them both gone. If she isn't physiclly ill, you will have a better chance. Lots of hugs and the hope she comes back into your life soon. You wrote the words very well. ME |
