Sleep Mom
Sweet smile on your face as you sleep the pain away, Resting in God's arms now, although in the ground your body lay. He needed another angel in the Heavenly choir and that's why you had to go. As you promised, you are still with us watching your children here below.
I never would have imagined the end would be like this, me comforting you. Holding your hand, telling you not to worry was not an easy thing for me to do. And even in your weakest hour you tried to comfort me too, Caressing my face, and calming my soul as only a mother can soothe.
You have always been there through the thick and the thin No matter what I've done, unconditionally you love never wavering. When I told you of the mistakes I made and all the times people saw me fall You simply nodded and gently replied 'so have we all'. The key to success is learning from the past Ensuring a brighter future is now the present task.
A pillar of strength even until the end Fighting all life's battles, knowing it's triumphantly you would win Pushing me to be the best that you know I can be
Reminding me to keep the faith and allow G-d to lead me. Knowing it's through G-d that I can do all things And as He never makes a mistake I will come through victoriously.
I miss you more than these words could ever say The pain in my heart is from one unimaginable day After I cried all that I could; my eyes still shed countless more tears And when I try to sleep, I have nightmares of ten-thousand fears I walk in footsteps on an unsure path My load feels so heavy I am not sure I will last.
Silly though I may be I am afraid of life now that you're gone Because I've always had a mother. . I wish you could have stayed just a little while longer, there's so much left to do I wonder if I prayed hard enough and if so, did they get through. Finding relief in knowing I will see you again someday soon Remembering all you taught me as

Mourning can go on for years and years. It doesn't end after a year, that's a false fantasy. It usually ends when people realize that they can live again, that they can concentrate their energies on their lives as a whole, and not on their hurt, and guilt and pain.

Angel In The Sky
There is a star in Heaven and on it is a place , that's been reserved for you since birth a place meant for your name.
This star has watched you through the years but it could not stand alone , it rested high on angel wings awaiting your trip home. You slipped away, I held you close , your soul flowed through my heart , I felt your last breath through my tears
I felt your pain depart. Tonight I looked up to the sky and there for me to view was one lone star shining bright your name was shining too. You were my angel on this earth , you're my angel in the sky.
Wait for me, someday you'll see our names shine side by side.

Poem about Grief
Say not in grief that she is no more but say in thankfulness that she was
A death is not the extinguishing of a light,but the putting out of the lamp because the dawn has come.

Journey of Grief
The Journey of Grief following a loss, a crisis or a significant life change is a very personal and often a very private one. Each person experiences his or her own unique journey. In the Journey through Grief, the bereaved person must learn how to deal with the loss, crisis or significant change. This requires learning how to cope with what may be a vast array of intense, painful and at times conflicting emotions. The grieving person must learn how to weather the storms that come their way, without losing courage or hope, realizing that in time they will overcome them.
Grieving people must also recognize that they may never "get over" their grief.
Some losses never entirely fade e.g. loss of child, loss of spouse, diagnosis with a terminal illness.
Instead what happens over time is that they learn how to integrate the loss or change into their lives and keep living.
The grieving process usually ends when the person realizes that they will survive, decides not to let the loss control his/her life, and begins to focus their energy on living.
The season of mourning, like spring, summer, fall and winter, will also pass.

About Me
The Dance
Looking back on the memory of the dance we shared , beneath the stars above.
For a moment all the world was right , how was I to know that you'd ever say goodbye?
And now I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end, the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance,I could have missed the pain , but I'd have had to miss the dance.
Holding you, I held everything , for a moment, wasn't I the king? If I'd only known how the king would fall who's to say , you know I might have changed it all.
And now I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end, the way it all would go.Our lives are better left to chance , I could have missed the pain,but I'd have had to miss the dance.
