And while we weep you slip away into the quiet.. without Fanfare, no last words, just gone..
The kettle boils the World keeps turning as if something Sacred didn´t just break.
Grief it sits in the Chair it wears your Coat & answers to your name when no one is looking
BUT we go on, we have to , but the Sky is heavy, the ground doesn´t feel like home anymore and home doesn´t feel like home anymore..
Love you

Grief...It shows up in the middle of a good day, it comes and hits you out of nowhere.
It changes you slowly it´s invisible to everyone but you, people forget you are still carrying it...
It does not end , you just learn to live with it you grow around it and breathe through it...
You just keep going even though you´re heart still aches for the person you have lost..

Look down on your Niece this week she needs your support on the biggest day of her life .
So very sad you will not be there with us.
Love always
Your family

I am always reminiscing of the time we had together as a Mother & Daughter & of the family times & the laughter and the crazy stuff.
It makes me smile/laugh & cry...
Then there are times when I still cannot believe you have gone , you left such a hole in our lives that will never be filled.
You are so very missed.
Love you

It seems to me that if we love we grieve, that is the deal, that is the pact.
Grief & Love are forever intertwined.
Grief is the terrible reminder of the depth of our love.
And like love grief is non negotiable.

All my Love today on your 45th Birthday.
Until we meet again Sweetheart.

We said goodbye today, we did not want to but had to.
You put up such a brave fight, and you were so very strong right up to the end.
We filled the room with love and waited for you to go to a place where you could be free from pain and suffering, but I am certain you are safe & well, and that you are helping others.
You are and always will be a beautiful caring soul.
We miss your laughter your humour and your caring ways and your strength and support.
My heart still hurts.
We will meet again sweetheart.

You don’t just lose someone once

You lose them over and over, sometimes many times a day.
When the loss, momentarily forgotten, creeps up and attack’s you from behind , fresh waves of grief as you realise they have gone.
You just don’t lose someone once,
You lose them every time you open your eyes to a new dawn and as you awaken so does your memory, so does the bolt of lightening that rips into your heart.
They are gone again.
There is no end to loss there is only a learned skill on how to stay afloat when it washes over you.
You don’t just lose someone once .
you lose them every day for a lifetime.

Love you and miss you every single day.
