As you fight for every inch to breathe, I know it is coming,
When I will see the day that you are not with me anymore.
My God, My God! How will I ever go on with you?
My one true friend who has always been there, how could I?!
So much pain, I wipe the tears from your eyes...
I can still smell the linens and sheets that you lay upon,
I try with so much effort, yet, nothing can make you better.
I love you Mom, I can't tell you that enough each day!
You're in a coma, unable to open those eyes anymore,
I prepared myself for this, I know you can still hear me.
Hearing is the last to go from the body.
Can you hear me Momma? Can you hear me whisper "I love you"?
God, do I pray that you heard me that last time I said it,
Before I went to your room and found your chest not moving...
When my heart sank into that floor and left with you that day,
My saddest Thursday, my saddest day, How could I ever live on?
If there is anything that you have taught me in this world...
Its to HOLD ON TO GOD, no one can EVER take your faith from you.
To live your life to the fullest, to LOVE one another.
There will never be a woman like you, and I will never say GOODBYE.
You are with me everyday, you're still teaching me in this life,
I hold on to our memories so much, I know your here, I know...
Heaven just got more beautiful, because she's in it.
My saddest Thursday
Author notes
Its with great sadness that I tell you that my mom has passed away. She had cervical cancer and she had been battling it for almost a year. It was very aggressive and though she did have a painful cancer, God blessed her with her wish and let her die in her sleep. This poem is of my grief, of my sadness, for on July 3rd 2008, I lost my greatest friend, my Mom.
How do you feel when you read this poem?

This is heartbreaking. I talked with her several times and admired her determination to help you with all her might. She was very dedicated to you and loved you very much. Take care of yourself and stay in God's embrace. Indeed, that has been your strength through all the things you've been handed over the years.

Dear Sara, I'm so sorry sweetheart to hear of the passing of your Mom.
My arms reach out to you and hold you in my arms and try and ease away the pain.
Love Joan

I'm so sorry to hear this Sara Dawn...
I know the pain of losing your greatest friend for I've lost my mom as well. I'm so sorry to hear that now you have as well.

I'm sorry to hear this, Sara. I'm glad you got married recently because I can rest assured that you've got plenty of support and someone you love to hold onto. I know it's too early to think about now, but your mother will live on in many ways through you, in the stories you tell your children about her, and you will discover her again and again in the things they do and say, in their eyes or their humor. No one ever dies who is loved. She'll be watching and laughing or crying along with you. No one ever dies. I've been visited by my brother many times so I know that life on earth is just a stop along the way. You'll see each other again.
Please call me when you feel up to it.
Love you,
Uncle Mark

This poem is beautiful Sara. I am so sorry about your mom. You are a strong person and I know you will get through this. Love Janine

Dearest, your mother would be proud of your beautiful words. I truly hope your heart will mend soon, but I know it will not. You must grieve just as others, and you will someday understand why she had to go--I hope. God bless you. Love, Patricia
