In memory of a great guy, a wonderful human and a big heart, goodbye Jack I'll miss you...

Tears of Grief


 


I cried tears of grief today it’s true


I felt them roll down my cheek


I tasted their salty aftertaste


And I found it hard to speak


 


I said good bye to an old friend


I hugged his grieving wife


I listened to his eulogy


That described a great man’s life


 


I feel I’ve lost so many


I hear their voices in my mind


I fear that my turns coming


Well they speak of me as kind


 


I sang along with the choir


Amazing grace how sweet thou art


I cried tears of grief today it’s true


Knowing soon I too must part.

Tears are only a way of cleansing our hearts when we are grieving the loss of a friend or loved one. And you can bet your bootie that good things will be said about you my friend. So cry your tears and cleanse your heart and remember that your friends are here for you when you need us. H.B. today. Karen

Felix, My prayers are with you, and your Friend's family as well.
As we get older and our life-long acquaintences begin to pass, we tend to start looking at our own departure with a bit more seriousness. Oh yes, our time will eventually get here, and somebody will pick up a pen and attempt their version of Tears of Grief. But while we are still here, all we can do is go forward and try our best to continue living not only for ourselves, but to find ways to express the joy and happiness those that passed before us, would have wanted us to do.
Bless you Felix!

This is all too true when a good friend dies. It is hard to bear grief especially when that friend has gone to the mat with you. You have served him well with this poignant heartfelt write.

Grief is hard to bear, but with mourning comes refreshment of the soul and the realization of our own mortality to reflect upon. I hope you will soon come to terms with your friends passing and know he is only in another realm as we all will be when it is our turn.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend, I know how hard it is to say goodbye to them. It is not so much my passing that I dread, Felix, but the sadness I feel each time someone I love crosses over. Mourning is left to those who remain behind and I ache inside for those I have lost and those who will, ultimately, mourn my own passing. For them, I would willingly live beyond my "good days" to spare them grieving on my behalf. None of us has control over who will survive the longest but I pray for strength for myself, those whom I love and who love me when the sand finally runs out of the hourglass of life.
Take care,
Sherry
