Wishing

[champagne1982]

My dear poets and friends,

I wish you all a merry day
I wish you long life with those
I wish you love with those
I wish you hold near.


I appreciate your wishes and I wish I could be a lot more joyful. If I seem a little off, it's not life that's getting me down but mourning. A very, wonderful friend of the family (in fact we were to spend the day with her and ours) suffered a massive cardiac event and died Monday morning. If the winter solstice seemed darker than usual it was because of her passing. Thank you for your thoughts.

I'm so sorry, Carrie, and send good thoughts to you and your family, as well as your friend's folks. I know how hard it can be, having lost my sister and a very close friend right around the holidays many years ago.

This time of year is invested with such expectations anyway. Two weeks after my sister died, some people were actually saying stuff to me like "She'd want you to enjoy the holidays" !!! Uh yeah. I had one friend who understood that forcing is not good. We did simple things together--took walks and such. It helped more than all the grand gestures. I hope you have someone nearby who can offer simple respite and small pleasures.

And there's always writing poetry....

this is only my second Christmas without my Mom, who passed on 12/28/2001..

listen to Angeline, she's totally correct about writing, I just hurt so bad, every day for months after she died and then one day I sat down and started writing and havent stopped..and she visited me yesterday while I was cooking, told me to

"use the GOOD dishes and hug those girls for me..."

I did, and I did

it is a beautiful day, yours will be beautiful again soon, I promise you that, and it is okay to grieve, it is necessary and no one really knows how you feel cause your feelings are unique..bless you and smile, sweet lady

Remember her in your heart. Wipe the tears and rejoice in the time you had with her.

Celibrate her life.

Remember the joy. ANd then go tell the peopel how you feel about them.

I wish you peace and joy and the ability to grieve her and rejoice in her life.

I lost my daughter not too long ago. The pain never really goes away, it just lessens. My thoughts and wishes of healing are with you...
