Lovely way to remember her
Perfect portrait to stir
Up memories forever
I think you’re very clever
I haven’t started on hubby’s portrait yet
Instead painted my pet
She didn’t sit very still
But I thought she is old
Keeping me warm in the cold
Might not be here forever
So sketching her my endeavour

My husband passed 13 years ago next Friday. Within the first year of loss I wrote around 15 what I called ‘grief’ poems, some of which were used in the Hope bereavement course for others, and some were published within a small book with similar poems. Very recently I lost my beautiful daughter, the worst pain ever. At her funeral I had chosen one of the poems ‘I’ll find you’ which was read out. Any creative writing can be therapeutic during traumatic times, our deepest emotions, sadness grief and pain included, are expressed. I have read some wonderful poems here. When it is not quite so raw I will write poems for and about my darling girl too.

“Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.”

Locked up inside my heart
At my own beck and call
Lives all the beauty, joy and love
You brought into my world.

Memories to treasure
Moments that delight
Their value is beyond measure
A testament to your life

They are for me to unpack
And rummage through each day
They bring smiles and comfort
And often tears along the way

But they are there whenever i need them
Morning, noon or night
And in my heart is where they will stay
Until our reunion day.
