I wrote this poem to express my real feelings, not to try to evoke pity. For those who have been through such an awful ordeal, know you are not alone. For those who have been through another tragedy, know you are not alone. Sincerely, Christine

I cried for all the day today
for my son who passed away
I can’t believe that he is gone
I feel just like a useless pawn.
I try to make some sense of this
what ever happened to the bliss
of being a proud mom of two
now I am just mostly blue.
My daughter is my saving grace
each time that I see her face.
I’m thankful that I have her still
She acts just like my happy pill.
No one knows the pain I feel
unless they’ve been through this ordeal
of losing one that was your own
and being left all alone.

Wow, I’m so sorry for your loss, Christine. Not having had children, I can’t imagine the pain.

There is no pain like it. I lost my husband the year before and although I mourn that loss, this is so very different.

I recalled that you’d been widowed–wow, a double-whammy! My heart aches for you ❤

It sucks but it is life. I would rather deal with mourning than this virus!!

You’re right, I imagine–the virus has shaken up our priorities, hopefully for the better 🙂
