Poems ✍️

I'm thinking of my husband a lot this morning. I remember after he passed, a
friend told me. Don't worry Melvina, you'll get over this sadness of grieving in a
year. Well I'm here to tell you it's ten years later and believe it, it's not
something you 'get over'.

You learn to live with the loss, you sit and enjoy past memories, certain
situations remind you of those who passed on. Sometimes we might get angry
and ask many questions out loud. Still there are times, when you see a person
walking quickly down the street who resembles them and you follow for a bit and
then stop and turn around.
Every now and then, his image comes to me through others and a lump forms in
my throat wondering how can this be. I wonder is this his spirit standing there
looking at me. No we never get over the loss of someone we loved so true, we
learn to cope, yes that's exactly what we do.
