...I am lost for the right words to respond to this.<br /><br />Your poetry is hauntingly beautiful, and yet so very wretched at the same time.<br /><br />I have tears in my eyes for your mother, and for you too, because I can understand, at least a little, what it is to lose someone in this way. Not suddenly; not even quickly, but little by little over a long time.<br /><br />My grandmother, whom I loved dearly, suffered as your mother does. She became helpless and lost in her own worlds, sometimes relatively happy worlds, often sad and depressing ones. <br /><br />But a grandmother, for all my love for her, is not a mother. For you it must be many times worse.<br /><br />Looking back I have no idea how I coped. Somehow you do, because you have no choice. I think I probably had to become someone else for that period. I don't know if I could cope again. Necessity is a great provider of strength.<br /><br />I hoped that writing that piece helped you. I'm sure it did. There is, I think, a cathartic element to artistry.<br /><br />I hope that you will daily find the strength to bear the awfulness of what you are going through.<br /><br />I too send you my sympathies and my best wishes.<br /><br />TrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042131604091564151.post-81468402855439040592014-05-28T23:39:44.545+01:002014-05-28T23:39:44.545+01:00No words..just tears.No words..just tears.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212017323456341302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042131604091564151.post-73054549741260575752014-05-28T22:37:59.970+01:002014-05-28T22:37:59.970+01:00Peter, in a special way, that was truly beautiful....Peter, in a special way, that was truly beautiful.<br /><br />And you have all my deepest sympathy.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.com
