when it came to pass that her days and her nights were stricken with grief -whether heaven held all those lost to the living or not- liquid sorrow poured freely down but then doubt and guilt joined the same team worried their way midstream took hold and stuck half way down heaven holds those that are lost to the living? the question nags into her sleeping and tacks itself on to each waking moment gagging on what ifs denial prevents the unbelief from reaching her heart and the facts keep it from working its way back within reasoning’s reach faith holds on with the strength remaining but deep in the night death’s undeniable finality argues against it this lacking in her life has now taken her voice along with the willingness to swallow what assurance keeps repeating resolution would require that the Peace surpassing human understanding render reassurance to remove uncertainty’s existence but the lack of audible answers from on High gives surety to doubt’s survival as long as heaven holds all those that are lost to the living she prays for the peace that comes with the lack of breathing |

Sweetheart...he is safe, now... nothing will ever hurt him again... believe in that, please... he is well, and happy... and needs you to know that all is right. He doesn't want you to believe, for one moment, otherwise. |

Jellybeans, Sunshine said my sentiments exactly. I do know, for a fact, that there really is that place. He is rocked in loving arms of unimagnable grace and love.  |

Sit quietly, let your world wise mind leave you and listen to the quiet breaths pass your lips. In the stillness you will know that we are, we were and we will always be. The truth is within us all. We are eternal beings. Hugs to you -- Susan Promise you this, I know my Mother is just the other side of the veil. The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

Oh, my friend... I ache for you with every word... especially as I read the heartbreaking ending. It's hard to find the objectivity necessary to comment on the poem rather than the poet... for however superb the poem is, I wish my friend was spared this anguish. |

"faith holds on with the strength remaining but deep in the night death’s undeniable finality argues against it" Reality's walls are at their most thin deep in the night. Try to find that part of you that is most deep in you; that part which has no age, no gender, no ethnicity, no false personality; that part which never sleeps. It is that part which can tell you, inside your own frame of reference, existence continues. I wish for you peace of mind. |

thank you all...I do not question my faith, I just miss him so...and if he waits for me in Heaven, it makes the grief easier to bear...and if he doesn't...then what's the use... I guess this is a stage of grief...I guess I will get through it....sigh... thank you suthern  ps...I love that thought.....even if it makes me sigh for the ones who are complete sooner than others......
