The End of Remembering
Grateful for each small moment
I remember.
Come one September,
I might forget.
Left to sit beside
foreign embers.
I dig through depths of those I know.
Not much more than what they show.
A lavender early morning,
invites dreams I am storing.
Upon the path I am forging.
On the sunny day my mind is gorging.
She has to live with no memory.
Not even remembering she's my mom.
It's heart shattering.
Make so many memories.
The ghosts have got lots to see.

Keith said it best. I can’t imagine how you feel, girl.
I’m wrapping my arms around you. The biggest hug I can give.
That last line is haunting.

I feel this one, having lost my mom last month. This is a beautiful, hopefully somewhat cathartic write.
I believe some part of her still knows who you are, but I know it doesn't feel that way, and it hurts. My mom died with a smile on her face. I think it's possible that it's because she was seeing her mother.

I'm so sorry for you loss. Sometimes she knows she is my mother, other times she will
say I'm like a stranger to her. I don't like to post about her on here, but this was cathartic.
Thank you for sharing your own experience.

Super sad piece Lady, we went through tons our grandma and grandpa. But do you know they tend to remember older things perfectly.

My mom's mind is stuck back in her childhood. And she forgets people died.
Everyday is the same fresh grief. That's how I feel - super sad.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

Thank you so much. I'll take some of those positive vibes.
The past 2 years have been excruciating.

Cherish the memories of what was and silence the critics of yesterday's sorrows.
