TERMINAL

Sting of death....

TERMINAL

One lone tear begins its journey,
Joined by others where they fall.
Loss and grief cannot be conquered,
Life departs with death for all.

Final words remembered ever,
Like a fleeting lovers' cry.
Terminal...the drawn black curtain.
Evermore....the sad goodbye.
~~

''Eternally loving and missing you my son.''

No words can express the heart ache felt when a loved one is lost. The grief sometimes makes the memories too much to imagine.
Know this... a certain amount of a person's soul is left behind and is kept in the hearts of loved ones. Life is a cycle in all things. As they wait in a far better place, when the time comes and the cycle closes to its own end, You will join again.

I am glad that I decided to visit your page to reciprocate your visit to mine, as I have found a piece which resonates with me. While I cannot begin to imagine the pain of losing a child, four months ago I lost someone very dear to me whom I had known for over 40 years. The grief in your piece is palpable. It never goes away, I believe. We must just find a way to go on without them somehow, and acknowledge that a piece of our hearts died with them. Hugs and prayers to you, my friend.

[Miss Sharon]

What a beautiful and compassionate review Rubie. Thank you so much. And you are right...the pain never goes away. We just learn to go on somehow. It's been 4 years and still I cry for him most nights before sleep comes. You have my sympathies in your loss too Rubie my dear. ~Sharon
