And the pain is so thick I can almost see the blood in my wounds, I can't possibly be sure how long the healing will take... Only losing my firstborn compares to the level of heartache I experience now.... Why did I ask you to ruin me so that I would be good for only you? Is the tearing what it takes to make me lose my tight grip on what makes me human so that i can grab hold of what makes me holy? I cry myself to sleep and I cry myself awake...is this just what true Grief looks like? A literal sickness all over and a cant get away from my heart? And I know it's ugly and it's all the time, but this is the dirt that rubs the pearl that makes me gain...
I hadn't heard you in days and so I wrenched open my gut and pleaded with my life... And just as I was feeling hopeless you said, "I'm right here baby, I'm right beside you... ". Relief flooded me, I just can't last that long without hearing you... Don't do that to me... Friend of my heart...
It is good to read over another mother's grief.... Made my own writings not feel foreign or alone
