About the Poem
Mourning is a process -- If allowed to follow the course freely, you can endure --but each stage must be felt.
Alone |
| by Faye Jones |
| Married for thirty-five years, We know one another so well. There have been very few tears. Until now--- We have shared our joy. Happiness came to us in abundance. God gave us a beautiful little boy. Until now-- We guided him in his youth. Both felt so blessed to be his parents. He remained here through his thirty-forth year- Until now We separate to mourn. Both are afraid to share our tears. How is it we have shared so much? Until now-- Would the burden be too great to bear if our lament is combined? Oh but I need your tender care. So now---- |

I lost my son at the age of 30 in a terrible sitution gored by a texas longhorn bull. he was my only child,so I know the heartache. Icry every day not an hour goes by that I don't think of him,and it's been 4 years now. but me and his father was divorced but we pulled togather at that time. Ilost not only my son but my best friend we were so close. I loved your poem

I don't know what is like to be married yet, because I'm only 15, buit I do know what it is like to loose a loved one. I think this is a very sad and touching poem. Keep up the great work!

Inspiring and so true to life, grief is a very emotional thing and sometimes hard to share even with the one you love the most.
