They tell me that you are in a better place.
There is no better place for a young man than on earth with his children

They say it was God's will...
No God of mine would will this on anyone.

They say that I should celebrate your life.
I would if I could stop crying over your death.

They say you are still a part of me.
How could that be when I am no longer a whole person?

They say that you are with me always
I talk, I listen, I yell, I beg, I plead, I wait, I cry, I wait.....
Nothing

And I realize, I am completely alone.

Wow, what powerful words. What you wrote is so true. Did you write that yourself? It is beautiful and describes how we (sibs) feel: so alone. I noticed you wrote it on January 14th, that is my bro's angelversary. I agree about the God's will thing. Our preacher said it was not God's will to end Ken's life like that, so young and sudden (car crash, age 47). It is a fallen world we live in and terrible things happen, it was not caused by God. Thank you and peace to you, Renea

I couldn't have said it better myself.

oh my gosh, what you wrote moved me to tears. It is everything that I am thinking and feeling, but no one understands how I'm feeling right now. They all say that 'he's in a better place', 'cheer up', 'think happy thoughts'. All of these things lead to me just feeling more depressed and isolated, and totally afraid of ever saying anything to anyone because it just feels like no one wants to hear it, even if they have said that they are there for me. Crying or Very sad

So, true. People think they know the answer. They think you are supposed to be better after a certain amount of time. They have NO idea. My brother had a tattoo on him that said SOLEDAD, which means loneliness / alone. I should be the one with that tattoo. Thank you for that poem. I'm sorry for your loss.
