Dark clouds painted the sky. The storm raged outside
and I was so lost. Please god why cant it all have been a dream!
For six long months I had a fogginess circling
in my head. Dark thoughts and heartache,
diary pages plastered with Why did you take her?
why so soon?
I say “it’s okay” to myself every night,
remember that she suffers no more.
I CAN SEE CLEARLY,
the pain will ease more and more each day
And I can forgive that she is gone. I will always,
only just manage the concept of going on in life without her.
It’s just too much of an ask at present.
Some say seven years, long time. Should have moved on.
Others speak of how for each different person it takes your own time.
Even if it is a long one.
Seven years without my mother, I miss her
But I grow and learn to live without her.
Clouds part and skies open up, the storm had passed
and finally I can see clearly now.

Wow So Hard
Wow I could relate to your poem for I just lost my son at the precious age of 25, 6 weeks ago today!! The title The Clouds In The Sky And Over Me. Move And Let Me See Clearly Now. Oh and than the first and last lines Dark clouds painted the sky. The stormed raged outside and the last line Clouds part and skies open up, the storm had passed and finally I can see clearly now. Wow 7 years. He was my baby always my first born and I miss him horrible and I feel the dark clouds and haven't really gotten to a place of acceptance it all comes in waves. A lot of pain intense pain of grieving. Oh my no more hugs, no more kisses, no wedding and no grandbabies. I'm sad and in grief counceling as a family. Blessing to you and sorry for your loss. Love Kelle Marie, stavykm

WoW So Hard
Thannk you Kelle. It is exactly how I described it dark clouds covered my everything, but they cleared and the light came through eventually.
Your greif shall become easier with time. I am so sorry to hear about your son, thats a loss I can't describe ( being young with no children yet ).
But I too choke at the thoughts of No more hugs, no more kisses, no wedding, or no mum there when I give birth.
Take each day as it comes. Even after 7 years of course I still miss her sometimes. I suppose its just an easier to deal with type of pain.
God bless you Kelle, thank you for stopping in on this, I really appreciate it

Thank you for your heartfelt entry, Josephine

This is absolutely beautiful. This is such a wonderful tribute to your mother. There is no real set time for the end of mourning. I guess it all has to do with how you felt for the person that has left the world. sorry for your loss, but keep up the writing, its wonderful.
