don't tell me that you understand,
don't tell me that you know...
don't tell me that i will surely survive,
how i will surely grow...
don't tell me this is just a test,
that i am truly blessed...
that i am chosen for the task,
apart from all the rest...
don't come at me with answers,
that can only come from me...
don't tell me how my grief will pass,
that i will soon be free...
don't stand in pious judgment,
of the bonds that i must untie...
don't tell me how to suffer,
and don't tell me how to cry....
my life is filled with selfishness,
my pain is all i see...
but i need you, i need your love,
unconditionally....
accept me in my up's and down's,
i need someone to share....
just hold my hand and let me cry,
and say, my friend, i care...

- this is a collection of some of my thoughts as i travel through life. some may be moving forward, as in reading a book, or, i may periodically reflect and turn back the pages in my life on some previous memories.

Amen to this one too. In the end, we all have to deal with this grief thing our own way and nothing anyone says can speed that up or make it less painful. Would be nice if it happened that way but it doesn't. And it has got to be very discouraging to those who care about us that they cannot make us feel any better than we can about things. It's just a hurt that sometimes not even time can heal.
(((Hugs))) to you sweet Nancy. I was sweeping up leaves at work the other day and thought of Russ. I think of him often when I see the beautiful autumn leaves swirling around the course.
Excellent! Although I must say that I do have to believe that we were chosen for this task, but I don't think it was a test. I think that caregivers are a very different breed of people. You are all some of the best people I have ever met and I know we would all carry each others grief if we could.
Thank you so much for sharing this. This has been a very trying week for me all around. Truely this is been the worst week of my life. So much going and so many thoughts going through my mind. What to do? Take care Nancy. I am beginning to believe that winter and the cold is not really that great...peace, love and happiness
This is beautiful.
I agree, we all must deal with grief in our own way and in our own time. I still get hit hard with those waves from time to time. At least it isn't daily anymore, but it is still much too frequent.
I think of you often, Nancy. I hope you are well.
Thanks for this post nancy. How very true. There's no time line for grieving, it's all in the heart of the griever.
Nancy, both the previous post "Please" and this post express grief so well. They are both beautiful posts. So are you! Sending love, hugs, thoughts and prayers.
Hey you! Just checking in to be sure all is well.
Hope you're doing well, Nancy. Sending thoughts, prayers and hugs your way.
