I see hearts break all around me,
As Angels carry good people to the heavens.
Swollen eyes tell the story of endless tears and shattered hope.
Life rewriting the fairytale, with a less than happy ending.
There will be no mom to dance at a daughter’s wedding,
Nor share the little joys that come from simple things.
A mother mourns the loss of her child,
And a husband must now plan to grow old alone.
Deep loss changes the way we look at our world.
Broken lives rarely mend, as broken dreams turn to dust.
But we must live, to honor those that have become one with God,
And find strength in the memories they leave behind.

Loss and grief changes you in way you never thought possible….you see the world in a whole different way…but it is not necessarily a bad way. In some ways loss teaches us to cherish the here and now.
