Hello @2011panc,

While I understand your heartache and despondency, I must congratulate and tell you how touched I am by the way you honor your feelings with words. As I read each line of your post (which were all "I" statements) which started with "I grieve" or "I am grateful" I have found new ways to deal with my own grief at the loss of my mother just a few months ago (on Thanksgiving Day).

I would like to one more "I" statement and say,

I am grateful that @2011panc could write so many "I" statements to explain her grief and frustration.

Thank you for the inspiration you provided for me and others, @2011panc. I hope to be able to point other grievers on Connect to use your method in order to deal with their own grief!

As I wake in the morning with the sun shining bright, your breeze blows by, leaving your loving trace of pure delight.
The warmth to heal me, the strength to keep me, the sureness you'll never leave me.
You will always hold me, the one to show me that love has no end.
My Son my courageous son.
When the sun rises with the warmth upon my face I will feel your breeze as you leave your loving trace
I ask for no answers, It takes no directions, and leaves us with no goodbyes.
As I grow stronger , I'll hold my head high to feel the guidance of your loving eyes.
Marty please always hold me and we will rise together as time goes by.
I love you my Son. You are forever in my heart Mom💙
🍀I just wanted to share I wrote this for my son and myself shortly after I lost him. I'm sure I will need his💙🙏💙 my babies guidance for the rest of my life to walk through this. Bless all of you
