One of our regular readers is Tiffany who sent me the most wonderful e-mail which I asked if I could share with you all. She also attached a poem in memory of Josh who she lost one year ago today..I hope you find it as moving as I did..here we go
“This past year has been a journey to say the least and I do not think I would have gotten through it if it weren’t for the support from friends family and Widows Quest. Your site helped me see that I was not the alone and that means so much to me. I wanted to share a poem I wrote for him, actually it is more for his mom and I because it reflects so much of what we feel. Again thank you for your postings they have helped in so many ways.
One Year Later
One year later and it still seams so wrong
Do you look down at me at night
Do you see my candle so big and so bright
The candle I hope you would burn too
Hoping you’d come back so the days won’t be so blue
You now watch over all those you dearly love
But I make sure to keep you living in my head
That I can’t hear you say it back – the one thing that would make me glad
I know you are still with me; your love is within my heart
Though life is no longer present, our souls will never part.
Tiffany on behalf of myself and all other Widows Quest readers, our thoughts are with you and your pain is our pain…
What a wonderful way to keep the memory alive. Thanks for sharing it with all the readers here at Widows Quest.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of Josh
that was a very moving poem! you and your family will be in our prayers!
I love the fact that Tiffany feels able to share such intimate thoughts….thanks Tiffany
Thank you all for making me fell like I can share something like this with you. There are so many times I think we want to keep all these feelings inside and a place like this makes me fell like people will actually hear what I have to say. Thank you.
Tiffany – this community know how you feel and that is why I felt it was incredibly proud that you could share your intimate thoughts. It helps to show others that pain is “normal” and that we can all find a way through it. Thanks Tiffany
