Dear C., Beautiful job. Sometimes, death seems more real than anything else. P.

I loved this! You are such a talent. Love, Elizabeth

My heart goes out to you... A wee hug and a kiss or 2 xx for u xx Rosina xena465

Aaawwww Cat, I am sorry to hear about this news, it is never nice to recieve such tidings... but with this poem you have delved deep into your soul... and in your soul-searching you have consoled yourself in part I think. I love the rain and toxic lines, as I can envision acid rain etching furrows upon your cheeks that fill with molten tears and is very emotionally invoking, the garden and plant theme is also great giving an over-grown/unattended garden feel as if hope is abandoned, but most of all yes you grieve for yourself, and it is not bad to wallow in memory of those who you hold dear... as long as you don't let the pool in your heart stagnate. The world will never be the same... nothing fills in the gap... but you know you can build bridges that can heal and stitch back up that heart. You were obviously close to your uncle Cat, and you have let the feeling flow out of you here... know that like amny others here, I am thinking of you at this time. Memories last forever and that is how people always remain immortal, and that can never be taken away from you. Treasure those thoughts! Dale :)

Ah yes Cat, I know this write feelings well. Well said. I offer my sympathys in your time of mourning. Julie D.D.

Cat, firstly, I am very sorry for your loss, I hope the write somehow helps you to deal with the emotions and pain. Most of us have lost somebody and had feelings like you have expressed, but one line that really struck a chord with me and one I hadn't considered before: yet I cannot help wondering if the majority of my grief is for him or, selfishly, my own loss. That is a line which will mess with people's minds...it did mine and it is this line that separates this poem from the many thousands written about loss of a loved one. Outstanding and brave.
