Pain Written By Julie Carr

Pain
The pain at times is too much to bare,
This is so unfair.
The pain takes over my heart,
I sometimes feel like I am falling apart.
At times I want to numb the pain,
Other times I want to feel the pain.
Nothing truly makes the pain go away,
All I can do is wait for another day.

Me? Written by Julie Carr

Being me without you
I am not sure I can be just me.
There has always been you and me.
The Man I choose to spend my lie with
The Man I just knew I would grow old with.
How do I be just me?
That's not the way it was suppose to be.
I don't want to be me without you
But I do know I have to be me.

The Burning Flame Written By Julie Carr

Why did God take you away from me today,
What is his plan anyway.
My life has always been about you and me,
I just keep wondering how can this be.
I never thought I would lose you at this age,
Why did our life story have to have this page.
I never imagined our life without each other,
I can not be the Dad and the Mother.
I know I should not want to point blame,
But my life will never be the same.
It's time for me to stand on my own,
Why do I have to do this alone.
This is the time I need to be brave,
And remember the life we had made.
You will always be alive in my heart,
No matter how far apart.
Know that the flame is burning bright,
Just for you every night.

Dealing with death

From all the websites I have read this is good information:
When you first lose someone, you may feel like your world has ended. You need to readjust to your life without this person in it. There is no time frame for this. It may only take you six months to look at this person's picture and not be upset. This is normal. Feelings of guilt, anger, shame, helplessness, regret, sleeplessness and anxiousness are all very normal reactions. You may have these feelings for a year. That is completely normal. Speaking of the deceased as though they are still a part of your life is normal. Once you have adjusted to the loss, these feelings will subside.


Information from websites about kids:
Several websites all say the same thing about preadolescence, 11 to 13, begin to view death as real, final, and universal and are fascinated by details of the illness and funeral.
(This makes since why Marty was not freaked out when he picked out the burial site for his father. I was amazed how calm and confident he was that day.)



This is a subject I wish nobody ever had to deal with but the reality of life is that death follows, sometimes much too early.
