7 years Jimmy (21st May) Since you passed away... in loving memory xx
how i feel.
I wish my child hadn't died. I wish I had him back.
I wish you wouldn't be afraid to speak my sons name. My son lived and is very important to me. I need to hear that he was important to you also.
If I cry and get emotional when you talk about my son, I wish you knew that it isn't because you have hurt me. My sons death is the cause of my tears. You have talked about my son and you have allowed me to share my grief. I thank you for both.
Being a bereaved parent is not contagious, so I wish you wouldn't shy away from me. I need you now more than ever.
I need diversions, so I do want to hear about you, but I also want you to hear about me. I might be sad and I might cry, but I wish you would let me talk about my child; my favorite topic of the day
I know that you think of and pray for me often. I also know that my sons death pains you too. I wish you would let me know these things through a phone call, a card or note, or a real big hug.
I wish you wouldn't expect my grief to be over. These first years are traumatic for me, but I wish you could understand that my grief will never be over. I will suffer the death of my son until the day I die.
I am working hard in my recovery, but I wish you could understand that I will never fully recover. I will always miss my son and I will always grieve that he is dead.
I wish you wouldn't expect me 'not to think about it' or 'be happy'. Neither will happen for a very long time, so don't frustrate yourself.
I don't want to have a 'Pity party', but I do wish you would let me grieve. I must hurt before I can heal.
I wish you understood how my life has shattered. I know it is miserable for you to be around me when I'm feeling miserable. Please be as patient with me as I am with you.
When I say, 'I'm doing okay', I wish you could understand that I don't 'feel' okay and that I struggle daily. I wish you knew that all of the grief reactions I'm having are very normal. Depression, anger, hopelessness and overwhelming sadness are all to be expected. So please excuse me when I'm quiet and withdrawn or irritable and cranky.
Your advice to 'take it one day at a time' is excellent advice. However, a day is too much and too fast for me right now. I wish you could understand that I'm doing good to handle an hour at a time.
Please excuse me if I seem rude, certainly not my intent. Sometimes the world around me goes too fast and I need to get off. When I walk away, I wish you would let me find a quiet place to spend time alone.
I wish you understood that grief changes people. When my son died, a big part of me died with him. I am not the same person I was before my son died and I will never be that person again.
I wish very much that you could understand; understand my loss and my grief. But, I pray daily that you will never ' fully ' understand....

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name and
took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind, all those
things I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe
see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that could never be,
For emptiness and memories, would take
the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might
miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was
filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from his great golden throne.
He said, 'This is eternity, and all I've
promised you.
Today your life on Earth is past, and
here it starts anew'.
'I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each day's the same day, there's
no longing for the past'.
'But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things,
you know you shouldn't do'.
'But you have been forgiven, and now at
last you're free,
So won't you take my hand now and share
My life with Me'.
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't
think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me, I'm right here
in your heart.

Thinking of you x
Hi Jimmy, was thinking of you as I often do Even though come the time you left us we didnt see each other very much we knew that no matter how much time passed we could still turn to each other if we needed to and sometimes that means more than seeing each other all the time. Now all I can do is talk to our friends about you and hope you can hear me above all that lovely carefree noise in heaven.
If we could bring you back again
for one more hour or day
we'd express all our unspoken love
we'd have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again
we'd say we treasure you
and that your presence in our lives
meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again
to tell you what we should
you'd know how much we miss you now
and if we could, we would.
Thinking of you always Jimmy and your never more than a thought away. xx
poem
LIFETIME WISH
If I could have one life time wish
One dream come true
I would pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and you
A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried
You left behind broken hearts
And happy memories too
But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you
To your resting place I go
Flowers are placed with care
But nobody knows the heartache I feel
As I turn and leave you there
Miss you Jimmy
Not a days go by Jimmy where I don't think of you... it's been 6 years now since you've gone... your memory will live on in the hearts of many. I still visit your grave and think of all the happy times we all shared... I still keep in touch with your son Jimmy, he's the image of you.
Sleep Tight, you will be remembered always & Forever. Dance with the angels xx
