Goodbye and God Bless To A Dear Sister

The machines murmured and slowly stop their pings

As her soul, finally at peace was released and found it’s wings.

After months of pain and strain she was free to run and laugh again.

I hope you are back with your true love and dancing to a sweet refrain.

God Bless you sister dear

I shall miss you so, yet still feel you near.

The wonderful times you have given me are

Memories I shall never forget. You are next to me not afar.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light. My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits. View all posts by willowdot21

Blessed be, sister-mine… As you see, grief shared is lessened thereby, making it bearable if not entirely welcome…. Know we all share your feeling, and will be here when you need…

  Dear Jean thank you for your kind words, she leaves a huge hole in all our lives but even though she has left her shell, broken and tired out as it was, she is here and always will be in mine and all the family’s hearts. Thank you again. xxxxx

I’m so sorry, Willow. It’s a comfort to know she is no longer in pain, I’m sure. However, I also know that you will miss her for a long, long time. I’ve lost three brothers.

Thinking of you and sending hugs and peaceful thoughts your way.
