I read this poem at my son Aiden's funeral on the 3rd of March, 1998
~~• All Those Months •~~
Milk falling like tears from your mothers breasts
Your mother holds you in her arms,
She dreams of holding you
by Margery Cordukes
~~• Whisper of an Angel •~~
The whisper of an angel Can open Heaven's gate,
Whisper you are safe Whisper softly, angel love,
Tell me you are with me Whisper gently in my ear,
My heart still aches to hold you I close my eyes and see,
So I'll hear your angel whispers "You never need let go,
One day we shall reunite Angels whisper words of grace,
And I promise I will hold you In another time and place.
by Joanne Cacciatore (C) 1998-from the book Dear Cheyenne

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers,

"Worry is interest paid on trouble
"Start treating yourself as if you are the most important
"A deep down really hearty laugh now & then
"You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest
"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.
Poetry & Quotes
Your little heart beating so strongly
All those months is silent.
Your little arms and legs
Moving so vigorously are still.
Will never nourish you.
Your eye's will never sparkle
Your little voice forever silent.
Timidly kisses your soft, smooth cheek
Caresses your tiny fingers
And whispers your name with tears.
Of watching you smile and grow
Her love is always with you
A love only a mother could know.
A glimpse of faith and courage A love strong enough to wait,
My heart is aching so Needing comfort from above,
"You will always be my mommy" In the quiet I will hear,
Your beautiful face now And who you were to be,
Through dreams I once held close In the distance now, so far
Still you're more than just my child You're the twinkle in the stars,
Hold me, mommy, close within" Though the pain and sorrow flow,
to Angels whisper words of grace,
and to learn more about her daughter Cheyenne

Two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes The Best.
God knows you had to leave us,
But you did not go alone ~
For part of us went with you,
The day He took you Home.
To some you are forgotten,
To others just the past.
But to us who loved and lost you,
Your memory will always last.

vary somewhat. But the general reality is this:
One cannot go around, under or over grief. One must go
through grief by leaning into the pain to work it out.............
Grief work is in essence a thorough and on-going review process.
It takes a long time. It is never fully or finally accomplished.
