when the heart still aches

As often as I remember to tell myself..... that she is in a better place ..... that she is now watching over us ...... that she is now helping us fight our battles, still my heart cries for the sound of her voice, for the love we shared.

How do I tell my heart to stop feeling the pain, how do I tell my memories to not feel the loss, how do I tell my tears to stop falling.

I miss her so much, our family still feels the deep emptiness.

When will the pain and the longing end. Will it ever end ???

It's been eight months to the day since my mom left us and still we grieve. Do we ever get over the loss of a parent ... we begin to question .... our inner being cry out to the universe.

We live each day with hopes that tomorrow will be better, tomorrow will bring the healing of our souls.

We love you so much mom and we miss you dearly my dearest Enyak.
