Sunday 24th January
I might be smiling
But I’ll never forget you.
You may catch me laughing
But you’re there, in my heart.
I’m making plans
But I’m taking you with me.
I’ll keep on keeping on
In your honour, in your memory.
I exist now, teetering on the edge:
The edge of then and now,
The edge of before and after,
The edge of together and apart.
Two emotions occurring together:
Hopefulness and heartache.
Delight and despondency.
Happiness and sadness.
Pleasure and pain.
Joy and sorrow.
I think of you, and I smile,
Then, all at once, I’m sobbing.
I recall an event, and chuckle,
Moments later, anguish.
A public mask, a private melancholy.
The new normal of coping without you.
I love you baby.
Missing you like crazy.
Beloved son.
Forever young.

How we can forget dear ones? it’s like the song: There is always something there to remind me
but we have to keep smiling because their only wish was for us to be happy

Grieving is a process that occurs in parts, on some days, you feel fine, but on others, you don’t, and, you just have to keep on reminding youself, that your deceased loved one wouldn’t want you to grieve for them forever, and this is still a very hard and long process of recovery that you’re on………
