PLEASE!!!
My Poem On The Death Of My Child

by CRYSTAL
(SPRINGFIELD,OHIO,CLARK)

Please, don't ask me if I'm over it yet
I'll never get over it
Please, don't tell me she's in a better place
she's not here with me
Please, don't say at least she isn't suffering
I haven't come to terms with why she had to suffer at all
Please, don't tell me you know how I feel
Unless you have lost a child
Please, don't ask me if I feel better
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up
Please, don't tell me you had her for so many days
What days would you chose for your child to die?
Please, don't tell me God never gives more than we can bear
Please, just say you are sorry
Please, just say you remember my child
Please, just let me talk about my child
Please mention my child's name
Please, just let me cry.

A GREAT POEM
by: Raymond and Juanita Sapp of Quitman, Georgia

Thank you for this poem, it is so true. We lost our son a little over 2 years ago. Kevin was in a tragic truck accident. He was 24 on 6/27/09 and his accident on 7/4/09. That holiday means nothing to us now. I tried to go in his room, but it is so hard for me too. It like a hole in your heart that will not heal up. Kevin was a great son. I'm his mother I still cry for him everyday. We love and miss him sooooooo very much. He is our heart and always will.

I totally relate to this poem. I lost my son last year and have had people say it is time to move on. (it will only be a year in April 2010). THAT is when I want to scream: PLEASE! don't tell me what to do until you have been through the terrible heart-wrenching experience of losing your child.
God bless

so true
by: Anonymous

My beautiful niece lost her fight last November and all my family are still in total shock. The ups and downs when she went into remission followed by the horror of her final day, 2 years to the day on from her first diagnosis. People really don't know what to say so usually say nothing. Your poem is amazing.

A Mother's Grief
by: Maureen

Thank you you for your beautiful poem. It felt like I wrote it myself.

I'm finally able to put my thoughts in writing. We lost our son Charles,our sunshine,14 years ago, but it seems like yesterday.

I can still see his smiling face, feel his soft skin, smell the scent of his clothes and hear his sweet voice saying "I love you Ma". The inner pain and feeling of sadness is there,it never goes away.

You're always thinking "what if ???." Only someone who has lost a child really knows how we truly feel. Thanks for wonderful memories of my precious child. "Love you,Jr",Ma

The Truth of the Pain From the Lost of a Child
by: Cynthia

Thank you, beautifully written for putting into words how the lost of words that are offered in such a time of pain are meaningless. This type of lost is a pain that follows you in life that continues deep into your very soul forever.

I buried my son ten years ago from a medical condition not curable. And the pain often seems like it was just yesterday.

When trying to give comfort to such pain caution should be used in respect of one's feelings - feelings that truly are only understood when "you" actually loose a child. There are no words that can bring comfort to such pain.

Just be in the moment with the parent, be still and allow the parent to share their feelings. Silence - can do wonders at such a difficult moment.

How true!
by: Delissia

Thank you so much for your honesty. I lost my daughter, Brittney, to a tragic automobile accident one year, 4 months, and 18 days ago. It still feels like yesterday. She was only 20 years old, so much more life to live. I get so tired of people asking how I am and constantly telling me that time will heal. That was my child, my baby girl, no- time will not heal. I will never see her again and that will never change. I, too, have heard so many times that God will not put more on you than you can handle also. On, on, and on. You're so right, unless you have lost a child- don't give me advice on how to feel better! I didn't just lose a goldfish, I lost my child. Thanks again for the poem, it is so real.

Wow!
by: Ed

Thank you for your poem.
We lost a one year old 12 years ago, and rarely a day goes by we don't think of him. Still find it difficult to go down the "baby" aisle in stores. The journey is what it is and the others will really never know how deep the pain goes.
