Today is three years since I lost my grandmother who was my only family. I thought I’d share a poem I wrote on the one year anniversary of her death.
I want to feel your love
I want to cry your name
I want the world to know
My life is not the same
Time carries on
But that’s so hard for me to do
All I feel is yearning
To again be with you
I feel so much anger
I live with so much grief
You’ll never see me grow
Because death is such a thief
I long to feel your presence
You were always my best friend
But a year ago today
Your life came to an end
I hold your memories in my heart
It’s the only place you now remain
And I’ll live to make you proud
Until we meet once again

What a lovely poem. It made me cry… a lot.
I lost my mum 17 weeks and 2 days ago.. I struggle every day. She was my best friend, we told each other everything and now she’s gone. 
My grandmother is still with me she’s 93. I see her every day and I make sure every day is special.
