GRieF wiLD

For the most who know
nothing, and
Must NeVeR comprehend
Tis not a journey to travel
There's no timeline or end

There are neither stages or
patterns
Nor, hard walks to complete
Tis a life trod forever, with
Thorn shoes on raw feet

Tis knives in the soul's heart
that
Slash each new beat, tis
A torture endured
An insurmountable feat,
owned

Only by mothers
Who have mislaid a child
Those who never know
Stillness
Those with eyes turned,
GRieF wiLD

Hi Marion, You are not the first mother nor the last has such a traumatic grief, and think my own mother must had when my elder brother died some years ago. So do keep going, and let the time heal. Kind regards.

Hi Yiyan, grief is not a competition!! I am the ONLY mother of my ONLY son ok. My feelings are MY OWN!! And...I will express them as much AND as often as I wish!! You are not obligated to read!!! If you choose to...read with compassion and understanding NOT judgement. YOU
are not and can never be...a mother., Therefore you can NEVER understand. Thankyou.

Oh dear. Such an unexpected reaction, and okay I stay away. Not sure where is your anger towards me from. Anyway everyone can read what I said above. Best wishes, and good bye.

Yiyan..it was the was the following words

You are not the first mother nor the last has such a traumatic grief

Which caused great upset to Marion. To be honest with you, when I read those words myself they filled me with horror. Something must be lost in translation because they are totally insensitive. Whenever my mother, or father, or teacher (you get the gist) said those words to me " you are not the first and wont be the last" it was a telling off. It means "come on now, get a grip. Enough already." I hope you can now see why Marion was so upset. Just saying...

My prayers are with you Marion and also for all parents who have lost children, and for all who have lost siblings. For everyone who has lost anyone in fact. 🙏🙏🙏 x
