Don't Tell Me....

Don't Tell Me... Don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know, Don't tell me that I will survive, how I will surely grow. Don't tell me this is just a test, that I am truly blessed, That I am chosen for this task, apart from all the rest. Don't come at me with answers that can only come from me, Don't tell me how my grief will pass, that I will soon be free. Don't stand in pious judgment of the bonds I must untie, Don't tell me how to suffer, don't tell me how to cry. My life is filled with selfishness, my pain is all I see, But I need you, I need your love, unconditionally. Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share, Just hold my hand and let me cry, and say, "My friend, I really do care." Author Unknown |

Everyword so true
Hi Hope, I lost my mum on 30 July this year, the pain is unbearable. On reading the poem you posted its all so true, everyline I was reading and nodding my head in agreement. I know this is a journey I have to do by myself, no one can help, I have to deal with not having my wonderful mum around. I do find myself being a bit nasty lately, my mum was 61 when she passed away, I find myself looking at older people, well older than my mum and I think how can you still be here and my mum cant be. My mum went into hospital 25th June, she was diagnoised with Ovarian cancer two and half weeks after going into hospital and she passed away 2 and half weeks after that. My mum did not even get the chance to fight the tumour which grew so big in such a short time, the tumour must have weighed about 8 stone in the end and you could physically see it grow day by day. It hurts me so much that Mum did not stand a chance and she is not here, the poem sums up a lot thank you Elysia

May need some reassurance during this season that no one else holds our healing and answered in there hands. We all go through it differently and at different rates....

I needed this bumped up
I needed this bumped up. Today I need to remember to be gentle with myself. I am missing my mom and was feeling a little hostile towards everyone today, including me.
Thanks
