Wow. This is dark but so real and so beautiful also. The courage it had to take to not only pour that out but to then share it with us? Admirable, for lack of a better word. I wish I could find that courage within myself I've been wanting, NEEDING, to grieve my mother's death in ink. I feel like it needs somewhere to live other than in me and in every moment I cannot be present in because of it. Anyway, your poem broke my heart and inspired me all at once. Thank you for sharing. This is what it's all about.
Best eulogy I've ever heard or read.
Perfect.
Reading lots of eulogies these days, but this one is the best.
Whewwww

My mom died last year on my sister's B-Day.... I've never written so many poems for mom, or about her, as I have since she left us.
My mom died in July. I’ve been catapulted into a part of the atmosphere where poems now come at me like birds. Yes, definitely write.
Nice way to start the week…..
