Struggling with new year

Hi I wrote this poem when struggling to get my head around there being a new year without Steve, it just doesn't seem right that life should go on without him. I thought I would share it with you as I am sure many of you will be having a hard time accepting a new year.

Rewind time

 

Stop the clock and rewind time

back to when you were mine

back to when my world was right

when new year was full of light

Why do days turn into years

why does time ignore my tears

why does the world carry on

doesn't it know that you are gone

Thank You for that poem.  My Fiance passed away April 27th 2012, he was only 42.  I have not hit the one year mark and my days are up and down.  Starting the new year without him does not seem right.  Again thank you for your poem

Thankyou Renee, I am so sorry for your loss. Steve was 42 too, much to young. Sending love and hugs. Babs

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
