After They Are Gone

by: Joanna Fuchs

When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone. Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts. Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.     In loving memory of my mother in law Dona Lidia who left us last week.
