INSPIRATIONAL....PASSINGS

After the passing of my mom several years ago and then the recent passing of
the mother - in - law of one of my sisters, who reminded me of my own mother....My thoughts turned to our elderly parents who have passed away and the feelings of sadness that we can not hide....

                                            PASSINGS

 

                             

                               When someone close to us

                               Passes away to the other side

                               It is very difficult for us

                               To accept that they have died

                               That they are no longer with us

                               Feelings of sadness we can not hide

 

                               After our period of mourning

                               We look for ways to remember them

                               Looking for ways in honoring

                               The cherished memories of them

                               In ways that are so very loving

                               Creating ways to memorialize them

We mourn for the person we lost, and for the part of us we lost as well with that passing.

We can only memorialize those who have accomplished something that others should remember. At least within the family. But it's better to have laid that to rest before dying or maybe no one will know or remember what it was.
