- Go to My one and only son
MarieClaire
I can't imagine what it feels like, I can't because even the thought of it is too much.
As a mother, I would like to convey my sympathies for your loss, and thank you for sharing.

I am sorry to hear that you had to suffer a similar loss.
So we know the other feels although everyone is different.

Marieclaire, Your pain and grieving are almost tangible. I share your sorrow because I lost a son. It does not make it easier that I still have three sons, for I love each in their own way. But, it is good that we remember together and talk often of David.

We all share your pain, though few of us can comprehend it's magnitude!

Dear MarieClaire, I cannot even begin to translate what you feel in your
heart into some sort of matrix that would enable me to truly understand, and fully empathize with the sorrow you are feeling...but I know and you know that is quite impossible...there is no such matrix... There is no way in this life that I could ever gain more than a glimpse into the sorrow of your heart, but the small glimpse I have caught through your exquisitely beautiful painfilled poetry truly breaks my own heart. The death of a child goes against the natural flow and rhythm of his mother's heart...her life... Women are a sisterhood; there are many truths we know and feel that cannot be expressed in mere words, these things we have learned to communicate with one another on a deeper spiritual level. I am holding you in my heart and spirit today...I hope you can feel the love I am sending to your heart from mine, and God's great peace...the peace that is beyond all human understanding...that I have prayed will engulf you and give you respite from your pain this day...In these periods of despair, please try to remmeber that this separation from your son is only physical, and that you will be reunited with him someday. Cling to that, dear MarieClaire...and take comfort.

I first read your poetry about your son in your July 13 post (see my comment there) - do write so sensitively about what must be an enormous loss. My heart goes out to you, and I can only wonder that you can also produce such beautiful work as your other poems, which I am enjoying very much.
