The obituary notice of Barrie LINCOLN

I didn't say goodbye to you,
there wasn't any time,
you quickly slipped away from me,
the timing wasn't mine.
And since the day you passed away,
I've thought of words not said,
And so I have decided to
write them down instead.
I love you more than life itself,
which means I love you still,
and I just want the world to know,
how much I always will.

Love as always

Do not judge the bereaved Mother.
She comes in many forms.
She is breathing, but she is dying.
She may look young,
but inside she has become ancient.
She smiles, but her heart sobs.
She walks, She talks, She cooks, She cleans,
She works, She is, but She is not...
All at once. She is here, but part of her
is elsewhere for Eternity.

Grief is the reminder
that love was present,
and that even if it's no
longer in its original form,
that love still exists.

Always.

~ ~ Grief and Sadness ~ ~

I still remember walking down that sad,
dark hallway of the hospital feeling as if
i was leaving you behind and when
i reached those doors,
i stepped outside, and in that moment
i knew my life would never be the same again..
and even after all these years, i still hope you
knew that i never wanted to leave your side.
~ ~
Just because i look okay on the outside
doesn't mean there's not a tsunami of
grief raging inside of me.

Love as Always

Grief is so much harder
than anyone tells you.
It isn't just sadness;
it's a void, an ache,
an unrelenting battle
with reality.
It's the endless reply
of what could have been,
and the cruel certainty
of what will never be.

Love and Miss you Bar

I brought you with me
into this New year,
tucked safely in my heart,
for always.

Trying to explain how much
i miss you, is like trying to count
all the stars in the sky.
