« on: April 16, 2017, 10:05:12 PM »
When people try to talk to me about Pat's death, I always hold back my true feelings. I feel as though I have to, as otherwise my depth of emotion would come across as being suicidal.
I don't think anyone who has lost their life partner or someone integral in their life could justify with words the effect that loss has caused.

Since Pat's death, I have found that writing feelings down in some kind of format can capture more emotion and explanation than any conversation. If anyone of the people that have tried to speak to me of my loss, read my words, they would 'get it' to some extent.

My Pat collapsed and died unexpectedly, on her own in the kitchen of the house on October 26th 2015, our son Frank( 17 at the time) walked in from work and found her there.
I wanted to write something that captured some of my thoughts after a year of her passing.
I finished this on October 26th 2016. I love her dearly and always will.


She’s Everywhere
-----------------------

The day that haunts ignorant and unaware
On the floor
I see her there

-
Franks struggle that night his look of despair
In his face
I see her there

-
Emotionally drained my soul laid bare
In my mind
I see her there

-
Beside my bed kneeling in prayer
Within the darkness
I see her there

-
An empty seat a vacant chair
Day by day
I see her there

-
My constant companion no matter where
I look across
I see her there

-
Her gorgeous smile the scent of her hair
I close my eyes
I see her there

-
Her presence her grace none can compare
Locked in memory
I see her there

-
She fills my world a life’s affair
She’s all around
She’s everywhere

That's beautiful and again very poignant.
