Sometimes my love pours straight out of my eyes
And rolls down the sides of my cheeks
And sometimes it sticks like a lump in my throat
And I’m rendered unable to speak

Sometimes it shouts in the loudest of voices
And echoes for hours in my head
And sometimes it fights me and keeps me awake
When I want to sleep soundly instead

It sits in the pit of my stomach sometimes
Like I’m aching for something to eat
And often it pulls out the rug from beneath me
And sweeps me straight up off my feet

‘Cause just like a compass points north all the time
It would seek you out, follow you home
But north has gone missing and so all this love
Doesn’t know in which way it should roam

So it’s frantically searching and crying for help
‘Cause its true north has gone, disappeared
And it’s desperate to find its direction again
Whilst determined to keep itself near

Yes, my love does so many things sometimes
Now that it’s lost and confused and bereaved
But there’s one thing I’ve found it does never, you see
It quite simply refuses to leave

*****

I'm not sure I've ever shared this one here before - it's from When I Am Gone

Nothing you love is lost.
Not really.
Things, people , they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight.
But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours.
The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart ..

I'm 3 days away from losing my husband 2 years ago. Excuse me if this sounds like one giant ramble! My life and my family's lives have changed in so many ways. I am still unable to even write the 15th on my dry erase calendar because I dread dealing with the day as much as I dread Valentine's Day. I...

Are you in the middle TN area??

If you know a child who has suffered a loss, this is an AMAZING group for them to attend. My daughter has been twice and loves it and everyone there. I've also made some wonderful friends who I've gotten close with over the years while she attends. If you have any questions please feel free to DM me, I'd be more than happy to share our experiences. It doesn't need to be a parent that they've lost, it can be anyone the loved!

Alive’s Grief Support Youth Group provides a safe and supportive space for children and teens (ages 4-17) to explore their grief and learn healthy ways to cope with loss. Through engaging activities, grief education, and games, participants can express their emotions, connect with others who understand, and develop tools for healing.

Registration required.
Starting February 18 - April 15 (no session March 11)
Tuesdays | 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.
Alive’s Grief Center: 1721 Patterson St. Nashville, TN 37203

It sickens me to even say those words out loud. We're supposed to be able to send our children to school where it's a safe, loving and supportive environment. Unfortunately, it's not anymore. Our world is such a complex, stressful place and we expect our children to not be bothered by these horrible...
