Bereavement

The first day of the rest of my life..

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace be Thine’.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

I've just seen this and realised what must have happened.
You've been such a devoted wife, I don't know if I could hold up under such pain and stress.
Your poem is beautiful.
Condolences and God Bless you and your family flowers.

Only just saw this thread. Oh MawBroon. Just because this has been on the cards for a while doesn't make it any easier. You'll be very busy the next week or two but when you have time we're all here. flowers

Maw I am so sorry to learn the significance behind the beautiful wordsflowers

Jalima1108 Sun 12-Nov-17 14:53:51

Condolences to you and all your family Maw. I know how you have devotedly cared for Paw ; even when expected it is still such a shock and hard to cope with.

I hope that seeing DGS on his birthday, and all the rest of the family, will help you through this difficult time.

Hope you get on ok today maw. Hope Hattie is giving you some comfort (and not just lying asleep on the sofa all day) ? Difficult to get up and out and about while it's so cold and dark in the mornings. Hope you sleep better tonight x
