He lowered his eyes
He shook his head
I'm sorry but your wife is dead
That can't be
I am his wife
I'm in the prime of my life
Here come my babies
Tears are streaming down their little cheeks
They look as though they have been crying for weeks
I hear him softly speak
Mommy is gone, she died today
The angels have taken her to heaven to stay
Why is he saying such things
I am right here where I should be
Will someone please listen to me
I hear him softly say, do you want to kiss mommy goodbye
Goodbye? What does he mean
Please, please someone hear me scream
I see them turn and walk into another room
Why won't they come over to me instead
Why are they walking towards that bed
I walk over and wrap my arms around them
They don't notice I am there
I look at their eyes and follow their stare
No it can't be
I'm standing right here, I can't be dead
That can't be me lying in that bed
Daddy Why did mommy die
Daddy didn't mommy know we loved her too
Daddy what are we going to do
Babies I love.you more than you will ever know
Please God give me one more try
I'm not ready to die
For far too many years I have fought this demon in my mind
Every day I grew stronger
I was sure the demon wouldn't be with me much longer
I truly did want to live
I was learning to live without fear and not let him in
Is this really how it's going to end, the demon is going to win?
The light is so bright and so beautiful
The angel smiles as she lets go of my hand
She softly whispers you can stay I know God will understand
God I know some would say this was just a dream
But I know because I believe in you your angel let me stay today
The demon that was living in my mind trying to take my soul has now been taken far away

I cried when I read this. My daughter had anorexia when she was a teenager. She was hospitalised too. Thank God she, also like you, found the courage to fight the demon. With all our love and support she pulled through and is now a beautiful young woman working overseas. I applaud you for your courage and have great admiration for the strength you found to fight and overcome this condition.
A poignant write.
