In the Letting Go: Words to Heal the Heart on the Death of a Mother

by Jonathon Lazear

A mother is she who can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take. Cardinal Mermillod

When a mother dies, often the center of the family is gone. The holiday rituals, the special birthday celebrations for children and grandchildrenthe memories are often held by the mother. A mother is a caretaker, a best friend, a source of sagelike wisdom. Losing her can be a traumatic experience.

My poetic throughts on the loss of my mother

MOTHER DEAR (Oh mother dear, I miss you like never before) Where are your warm hugs? Have they cracked and wilted in your empty arms Where are your sweet smiles? Have they dried and shriveled on your cold lips Where are your funny jokes? Have they turned to dust and lay at your feet To whom will comfort me? To whom will dry my tears? To whom will I lay my head, When no one else is near? (Oh mother dear, I need you more than ever) Where have you been? Have you finally been laid to rest Where are you now? Are you flying high with the angels? OR Are you down in the deep dark well? Call Me Sonya Grey: A Young Girl's Poems about Death, Life and Adolescence
