No matter the century, year, month, or day
To loose a child to an accident; sickness or death, is a very hard challenge to face; learn and grow through. The a sense of their laughter and pitter patter of their feet across the floor is speaks loudly of their heart wrenching absence.
๐ Please resist blaming.
๐ Do holding each other through your pain
๐ Do listen w/o judgement
๐ Do be in silence together, as there are times when no words comfort are the best comforters.
This poem speaks of a mother and father remembering and comforting....together...

Whispers of Her Light
For the child we hold in love beyond this world
๐ธ Mother:
I heard the wind today speak your nameโ
a hush so soft, it broke my heart again.
The sun had tucked its golden thread
into the place where you once lay your head.
๐ผ Father:
And I saw your shoes by the garden wall,
still waiting for your skipping call.
The roses bloom, but not the sameโ
each petal echoes just your name.
๐ธ Mother:
Do you remember how youโd laugh at rain?
You made the world feel whole, not plain.
Now the sky just cries and so do I,
and even silence asks me why.
๐ผ Father:
We made her lunches side by side.
We told her stories, watched her ride.
And now we sit with empty platesโ
and time, it bends but never waits.
๐ธ Mother:
She danced like stars upon the lake,
with dreams so wide they made us ache.
We held her close, we gave her allโ
but love can't catch what angels call.
๐ผ Father:
Still, I feel her in your trembling hand,
in the quiet way you help me stand.
We grieve in threads, we speak in sighs,
yet in this loss, our love still ties.
๐น Together:
She is the breath between each word,
the song we sing though never heard.
And though sheโs gone beyond our view,
she left her light in me and you.
๐ธMother:
Letโs remember every laugh she gave.
Father:
Letโs plant her name in every wave.
๐น Together:
For though our arms may hold her not,
our hearts are fullโshe's not forgot.
