Who knew that it would still be so hard on me to grieve,
Especially after a year it's odd to fathom or believe.
Yes, a year this month, losing a Husband and my Mother,
The pain that I feel deep down, wondering does another?
Feel the aching that I have in the pit of my Soul,
Burning me so bad, like hot embers or piece of coal.
I find myself thinking and reliving of the past,
Hoping all the memories I have inside will last.
Wishing them back, is selfish and simply cannot be,
Yet I can't stop and my thoughts are destroying me.
I know I must cease, as life does move on,
Put things in perspective and, realize they're gone.
The grief that I am feeling, didn't just suddenly start,
Yet it grips me so badly, and is tearing at my heart.
I know my heart will heal as the time passes me by,
And, as I'm thinking about them, tears will fill my eye.
I must face the mirror, and tell him not to cry,
For the final words I said, were not the last goodbye.
I must end these rambling thoughts going through my mind,
Because one thing I know, is to myself I must be kind.
When you lose someone you love, grieving you must do,
It's just one of those things in life, everyone goes through!

I have never lost someone i am really close to. I can empathise with the feeling in your writing today though. In writing about your feelings and those you've lost there will be a healing. Each word, respectfully penned, a heartfelt tribute to the love shared.
Do keep writing, don't post it all on mps, but keep writing, let your feelings flow.
Thanks for the comments, Dusk Arising. Your comments are like poetry in itself. I do write quite a lot and, not just on this site. Thanks again for your inspiring comments. They are appreciated and I shall take them to heart...
I lost my wife six months ago so I know that grief but I came across some words recently that certainly helped me:
"When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind."
Beautiful words to live by Goldfinch.. My condolences on your loss. I know what you're going through and I feel for you my friend...
