Thanks so much, Anne-Lise. Hugs and blessings!

Likewise, Sara, so sorry to hear.

Oh, Sara, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your brother! Indeed the hurt without any chance of resolution cuts deep! Thank you for sharing your grief. I guess writing about the subject allows all of us to share our stories as we continue to wrestle with the unanswerable question of "why?" Sending you prayers of consolation and hugs.

Paige, know you remain in my prayers. Your courage in the face of this soul crushing condition is a stirring inspiration! You will always have a chair at my table! Blessings of peace to you.

Dear Sara, what a wonderful, apt description of depression that smothers one's dreams creating a living nightmare. Thank you for your good wishes. It is for a contest on senryu. Sending you blessings and prayers.

Dearest Lasaad, your beautiful feedback so eloquently expresses the profound grief around suicide that never has a resolution for those left behind. A quilt of heart wrenching sorrow indeed. Blessings to you dear friend and gratitude!

Thank you so much, Andrea! Daniel's poem on suicide sparked this poem. When we lose someone special there is always a hole in our lives and it is especially painful when that person has taken their own life. Blessings of continued healing to you!

Thank you Anne-Lise. Daniel’s poem was the inspiration for this sentry. It deeply touched me as I have lost a dear friend to suicide. It is tragic. Sending you hugs and blessings.
