Bereavement

Why I go to bereavement groups

I had a loss in my life
I lost a mother and also a wife
It hurts so badly when people die and they are gone
I was told a bereavement group might help me to move on
We sit and we talk about our lost love
How we miss them and we know they’re in the heavens above
We all can come together because of the pain we all share
We can relate to each other with passion and how much we care
Talking about the past, which now is a memory in our life
Were not sure of our future that will be for the rest of our life
We now have large changes in our life
Someone may have lost a parent, a child, a sibling, a husband or a wife
It’s our group that knows our loss and our pain
At times our friends or family might think were not sane 
Someone may say something that would bring us to smile
That’s something that happens every once in a while
We try to get by the sorrow
If not today then maybe tomorrow 
Maybe after time and lots of tears
Just maybe we might find another love that cares

Heartfelt piece Michael, your writing will never replace those you have lost, but it may help in the recovery of your loss >> James

Very inspriational!!! I too lost my mother at the tender age of 96yrs old. She was my backbone and was there for me through out all my struggles and trouble with my drug issue...I now wish so much that she was here to see that all of her prayers are being answers. I'm glad she is in a much better place...But I do miss her terrible just the same...A great write. And thanks for stopping by....Patricia
