To all the lovely people who left this earth too soon
How can life feel so long one day, yet short the next?
I wanted to tell you several things before you left
Please believe me, my heart said what it could at the time
I’m just grateful for having the chance to say goodbye
Last night I went outside and looked up to the heavens
I read a poem that said when someone dies, you throw your grief to the sky
The Universe responds and paints that sky shades of pinks and purples
At some point, anger sounds like thunder and sadness feels like rain
Even the wind feels like you are near and just walked past me
Letting go is an ongoing journey
Reminiscing about times together and feeling grateful for precious moments
They say when someone dies, they become your guardian angel; especially a child
If I ever have a question, I know I can ask you anytime
Now you are pain-free, healthy, happy, safe, and peaceful
Reuniting with the ones you loved and lost once before
I take comfort in believing this for the time being
Envisioning your happiness makes me happy
This is my emotional rescue
Life is interesting how we are more connected than disconnected
I know I’ll see you again one day
We can paint the sky together
But for now, I throw my grief to the ground
To hope and watch happiness bloom on earth once again
As the Universe responds
All my love to you ❤

It has been a long time since I visited wordpress and written any posts, I have found it so hard to put things into words. Reading yours gave me great comfort. I lost my mum in February and feel so lucky that I was able to be with her and say goodbye. A light went out for me on the day she left and each day since has been very difficult and at times unbearable. I am thankful for so much, especially in the difficult times that we all find ourselves in. Your words resonated with me and every day when I am alone in my thoughts I look up to the sky and talk to my mum. My comfort being that she is at peace and reunited with my dad. Thank you for sharing Julie x
