21. Ballad Of Twin Towers
Losing Husband On 9/11That morning we woke up,
Like any other day.
We brushed our teeth, I brushed my hair.
Nothing new to say.
He said "Goodbye, I'm going to work,"
While I stayed at home.
I took the kids to school
And heard a ring on my phone.
I picked up my cell,
Holding my coffee cup.
It was my sister Stacey.
She said, "Turn the radio up."
When I got home
They were waiting at the door.
They called me over.
My eyes started to pour.
This morning I wake up
With no one in the bed.
I wish my husband were here,
But he can't come back from the dead. -
22. Beside Your Grave
One Year AnniversaryI left a simple rose today.
I laid it down upon your grave.
Then memories came rushing - from the past,
of our lives together; we said it would last.
I remember the time, hand in hand, we ran
through the tall grasses and warm sand.
We laughed at all of your jokes and stories.
The way you told them it was never boring.
Although it's been a year today,
my heart is sad - it won't betray.
It seems like time has been delayed -
the long cold nights and the gloomy days.
I thank God for the time we had.
My life with you was never bad.
I pray for a new dawn and sunny days,
as I stand here beside your grave. -
23. I Would Follow You Into The Dark
Poem Wanting To Be Reunited With Husband In DeathI would follow you into the dark
If you didn't leave me so much to live for.
I would follow you into the light
If I knew you knocked on heaven's door.
To be with you one last time to say goodbye
Or maybe to live with you for eternity,
I wish I had all the strength in the world
To give up my life so carelessly.
I would follow you into the dark
If I didn't promise to live on in your name.
I would follow you into the light
If we didn't have a son to carry our flame.
I would walk into the unknown
Just to see your precious face.
I would make a deal with the devil
To see where you are, whatever the place.
I would follow you into the light
If there wasn't such a big question mark.
Oh, what I wouldn't give baby,
To follow you into the dark.Latest Shared StoryMy husband passed away on the December 15, 2017, in a motorcycle accident at the age of 24. We were married for three weeks. We do not have kids. It is the hardest thing I have ever dealt...

24. Love Song
Poem About Life After My Husband's DeathThe years have gone so fast, so slow,
The seasons spinning round as years drift by.
I miss the looks we shared, the smiles,
The warming touch of gentle hands.
The years have been so long, so long.
The silence met, returning home.
I miss your laughter, sparkling eyes,
The loving look and mutual joys.
The years have gone so fast, so slow,
Seasons marking empty days.
I miss sharing my life with you.
I miss the way our hearts would sing.
The years have been so long, so long.
I've watched the seasons, counted days.
I've truly lived the best I can,
My broken heart made strong by love. -
25. Dreading Christmastime
Struggling At Christmas After Losing My HusbandI'm dreading Christmastime this year
Because I have so much to fear:
An empty space beside my chair,
No gentle caress upon my hair,
No Christmas card from him to read,
No loving kiss upon my cheek.
The mistletoe will be unused,
And songs will make my heart feel bruised.
My heart is heavy, my pain is great.
There's nothing left to celebrate.
For my love has gone beyond the veil,
And all I want to do is wail:
"Christmastime, leave me alone!"
Happiness has left my home.Latest Shared StoryI'm so sorry for your loss, Victoria. I'm also dreading Christmas. I lost my baby son in September. It was supposed to be our 1st Christmas. This will also be my 1st Christmas without my dad...

26. Never Alone, A Father And Husbands Protection
When I looked out over the patio tonight I noticed a single star,
With fog so dense you couldn't see the moon, I knew it could only be you.
I stared at you for a while hoping for a reason,
Then realized at that very moment that you weren't gone at all,
In fact you are and always will be alive in our hearts and memories,
Your love is strong Leo,
So strong in fact that it has burned a hole in the fog,
Just so that the light of you can keep us warm and protected at night.
Though night shall fade and day shall come,
I know that you will not have abandoned me,
For you are now my shadow that guides and protects my day,
I know now that I shall never walk alone again,
For you will always be there holding my hand.
One would not think to ever hurt me,
For they will see my Father/Husband at my side,
And know that a man of great stature and power protects me.
I will sleep easy tonight,
Knowing that you are there beside me,
When I feel that extra bit of warmth and security at night,
I know it is but your arms wrapped around me.
I am Never Alone, And You Are Never Forgotten.

Waiting For Death Husband In A Vegetative StateCan he see me?

Does he know I'm there?

28. Suicide
Poem On The Stigma Of Losing A Loved One Through SuicideSuicide the headline screams
And everyone turns their head
Too frightened, too shocked, too ignorant
To acknowledge that he is dead
Whispers in the corridors
As slowly rumours spread
An overdose, a bridge, a rope
A gun put to his head
A visit to the state mortuary
Where platitudes are said
As they slowly draw the curtain
For a viewing of the dead
Widow standing silently
While poetry is read
Mourners walking one by one
To the harbor they are led
Flowers scattered on the sea
A brightly fragrant bed
Whilst seagulls cry overhead
He is dead, he is dead, he is deadLatest Shared StoryHi Audrey,

30. Live Our Dreams
Message From Husband From HeavenStaring at the little dots in the sky
Wondering which one is you
Asking the same question, why?
Only answer I know is that you knew.
Sitting by the window, watching the rain fall
Never felt so cold.
Remembered the last story you told.
Hold on and be strong
Live you're life, do your things
For it's in heaven I belong
Go on and live your dreams
In a song I still hear you
In a flower I still see you
But your bed space is empty
It's just your memory that comforts me.
Missing you is a rollercoaster ride
Emotions up and down
Always wishing you are by my side
But I'll hold on and I'll be strong
Will live my life, do my things
And promise to live our dreams.Latest Shared StoryI lost my husband of 50 years and 11 months on December 29, 2015, to a very aggressive cancer. It only took 26 days from him feeling bad to God taking him. I met him at a gas station in 1964....

31. A Sad Day
A song plays, indicating a start of a journey.
A woman sobs loudly, mourning her husband.
One last chance to tell him all she wants,
she just stands and stares, with her tears falling.
A bugle begins to play the dreadful "Taps".
She stays still, not sure what happens next.
A flag is presented to the grieving widow;
she grasps it and holds it close to her heart.
A man tries to tell of this man that she loved;
he doesn't know enough to properly convey,
the way that this man touched everyone's life.
The laughter and joy he brought to all that he met.
The ritual is over and she falls to her knees;
she can never leave him all alone in the breeze.
She tries to rise but is too weak to stand,
she'll need a band of angels to help her through.
Three women, stoic and silent, appear at her side,
they wrap their arms around and hold her near.
They help her up and as they begin to walk,
she thinks, goodbye my love, you're finally home.Latest Shared StoryI too am a veteran's widow. Words cannot express the sadness and compassion I feel for all who had to hear the dreaded "Taps." I am very recently widowed and cry oceans of tears since losing...

32. Is Anybody Listening?
After Death Of Husband PoemAlone with the raging in my soul,
I know not where to turn.
I have opened up to some,
But this raging makes me burn.
My heart and soul are screaming,
But I try to hold it in,
For, they make me feel I'm wrong,
That my hurt is like a sin.
I am fighting for a way,
To be not weak and small.
But my pain is not subsiding,
Please someone hear my call!
I've done what they have asked,
Tried going down their path.
But they know not why I'm hurting,
They haven't felt the wrath.
I look to them sincerely,
I TRY to help them SEE,
But, they just don't understand it,
So they choose to leave me be.
I long to just be normal,
Then maybe they'll accept,
The reasons why I need them,
The reason why I've wept.
The demons they hold strong,
As, they've broken my life down.
Are they afraid of these monsters?
Is that why they seem to frown?
I'm afraid to admit,
The help that I need.
I don't want them to know,
That in my pai I BLEED.
I have learned how to live
With many kinds of pain,
But, I will never let,
My husband die in vain.
Because he was unkind,
So many years before,
I think his death, they want me,
To move on and IGNORE.
Tyrone can you hear me?
Can you please let them know,
That special part of you
That I just can't let go?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody SEE?
Help me put to rest, my Ty,
Please help to set me free!Latest Shared StoryTJ Illinois - my heart goes out to you and your family. My husband passed away 1-27-16. It has only been 5 or so months and the pain is as sharp as the day he passed away. He lost his...
