Patience…………..Understanding
When a child dies a part of you dies with
that child
A future you dreamed about no longer
exists.
Everyone waits on the side for you to move
on.
Everyone wonders why you still may grieve
from time to time.
Have they ever lost a child?
Can they really know what we are feeling?
Everyone must understand this loss is a
life long journey.
Patience…………Understanding - that’s all one
can do.
Those of us who have had a child die don’t
want the pain or want to dwell on the past.
The pain is just there.
It eases up and gets easier, but the pain
will live with us forever.
Forever because it’s a future we will never
know.
Only a dream we dreamed.
Only a prayer we prayed.
Only a wish we wished.
Only a hope we had hoped.
Not a day goes by that we don’t think of
our child that is not with us.
It may not be an all day affair wondering
what they would be doing right now.
But it may be a song we hear
A moment we feel
A smell we come across
A short simple thought of that child who is
not with us.
Just give us Patience……………Understanding
Our emotion, whatever it may be, will
forever be with us.
