christmas without you

They are with you, you just cant see them, but you can feel them,
sad and well written!

Thank you for your kind and loving comments.  I appreciate them so much.  

Although this poem is a sad tribute of grief.
Its good to read one of your lovely writes again, Faith Elizabeth...
Loss lives a life of its own, I know abt that...
Much strength to you in this difficult time

So good to see you have been by, my friend.  I've been away due to an injury and haven't felt physically able to be on here more than I have been.  The poem is not a new one but one I posted because it is the holiday season and I am not feeling "in the spirit" at all to be honest. The mending has been slow.

Thank you so much for your loving words.  I have so much catching up to do on you and my other friends poems but I will read them all as I am able.  God bless..Faith

Thanks Faith Elizabeth!
Your kindness is a virtue, hope you get better.
Treat yourself well dear lady!

Thanks as always, Marcus.  Have been away because of an injury but hope I can be on here more in the very near future.  

awww Faith, how lovely and sad this piece is to me! I feel the longing in your words.
The loss of a loved one hurts more on special holidays and occasions, for the grief seems to intensify. And I know the absence of your loved one will alter or change the traditions you shared, which in turn will awaken many memories. Hold on to those memories!

The holidays still rush on; people all around are making their usual plans as if they didn’t remember or notice your broken heart. Some will try to cheer you with laughter and make efforts to lift your spirits but very few will understand your numbing pain. Faith, the anticipation of the holiday is sometimes worse than the actual day itself. I know!

When you have a moment tonight and the house is quiet and silent, be still..... and remember that  holidays can become a time of reflection and peace, a time to cherish the gift your loved one has been—and continues to be—in the life of your family. Reflect on the lovely and beautiful memories and adapt them into the new traditions, ones you will make in their absence....by including them in spirit!

Love from across the miles! xoxoxo


 

I am so blessed to have a friend like you.  Your comments helped more than you know.  While I didn't just lose him, I still miss him so much.  I will be working on catching up on your poems just as soon as I can.  

Thank you so much for your love and prayers.  I sent you a pm last night but don't know if you got it or not because my computer was doing weird things.

Love-Faith

Such sweet, genuine comments above. I love your unfettered expressions of your soul. Touching indeed!

Thank you for your wonderful comments.  It's always so good to see you have dropped by.  

Oh, Gabriel.  How I can relate to you so well.  I seem to dcandle the loneliness the best while alone, too,  My family will be expecting me to be with them though.  It is out of town and I hope I am healed enough from my injury that it won't be too difficult to make the trip. We will see.

Thank you for sharing so much with me.  I have so much catching up to do to read your poems and my other friends.  Will be working on it as I am able.  Take care, Gabriel and thanks again for your wonderful remarks.

Oh Faith, my heart is hugging yours. I know how this feels so much. Not much comfort my words will bring. Just hope you feel my tears flowing for you and the hug my heart brings. Hope you feel the love of God and friends around you. Sendng luv, hugs & prayers your way. :)

oh, Honey thank you so much for your beautiful comments...you have deeply touched me...i'm so blessed to have you for a friend...i'm on the mend though it has been slow going....so happy to have you dropping in
