Painful Awakening Poem by Sandra Feldman
Painful Awakening
Reaching out for comfort,
When there is none,
When a Loved One is gone.
Deeply searching for answers,
When there are none,
'A better place', 'Out of Misery',
Do not console, do not control,
The feeling of emptiness,
That drowns the soul,
That will always follow,
For the rest of your life,
A forever place left, hollow,
As you realize you're now alone.
Wow! very deep and poignant. My mother's birthday was yesterday. She has been dead for 40 years. Every year on that date is a painful awakening
