Sorrow

I feel like I am suffocating in sorrow

led by pain

crying in my dark spaces

feeling alone

I want to breathe freely

raise my head

let out a roar

wanting

to spew out the sorrow

feel the release

even for just a moment

Grace's path

I stepped off my path for the last two months to join my mom on hers. My mother Grace Marie Landry

aged 88 years, 2 months and 14days died on November 2, 2009. She left behind 4 daughters, a husband,

4 son in laws, 2 grandsons, 1 brother, 6 nephews, 5 nieces, numerous cousins and friends . I am missing her

everyday , wanting to be able to feel my arms around her once more but I am learning how to get thru. Just

one moment at a time. I imagine that it will all get better in time that I will feel this pain lessen a little bit more

each day. I imagine that I will be able to get thru an entire day without crying once. I imagine that I will be stronger some day . I imagine that I will be able to use all of this grief and sorrow to create but right now

I am not moved to create, I am sitting and breathing and learning how to live without Mom.
