I’ve got to carry on 

mum’s gone

rudderles with no guide

I’ve got to carry on

mum’s gone

who knew of these feelings

Of you and me

all around

eyes shut, eyes open

in my head, my heart

I want to cling on

but mum’s gone

Always a huge emptiness, especially at the loss of one with such understanding of our own situation, and you have to start remembering what advice she would have given. But the sudden loneliness and adriftness must be so hard, as you seem able to describe.

We ourselves need to be a help to others, but help them not to become totally dependent on us, for me it was encouraging my children to lean on God who is there at all times, and get to know the wisdom of his words (in the Bible). Rhiannon

It is very sad I understand your feelings our mother also passed away recently. Gratefully we are coping well we look after each other.

Lots of love I think it gets better it always does &&

Thank you for your comment. In the poem I’m expressing my shock, as my mum was getting better. So I’m confirming to myself that she has passed away. Obviously we’d all like to cling onto our loved ones, keep them with us forever ! I’m glad your family are supporting you.  X
