The One Who Survives

Suzanne

Slipped on the ice

And she died instantly

I stood frozen, a survivor

Age six

Duke Beaufort Date: 2/8/2016 7:32:00 AM A remarkable metaphor. This is with you and always will be. The way you are able to share is a reflection of your inner beauty and the toll the loss has taken on you all mixed together. It is a gift to your sister and to you that you have such a heart. You have experienced what none of us should have to bear, but you deal with it with such elegance. There is no shame in mourning forever. Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 2/8/2016 9:27:00 AM Duke, you always leave me the best comments, the death of my sister, scarred my soul forever, I have been writing about her forever and still the grief is new each time ~
