I forgot to post a remembrance on Jenna's Gotcha Day, April 22. I was looking for a profound verse or poem to add to her memorial thread. I just found it by chance on FB today.
I'll never stop missing you, Bean. I was afraid I'd lost your presence in my memory completely, but there's no chance. I hope that in the paradise that's so lucky to have you now, you haven't forgotten me.
You Don’t Just Lose Someone Once…
You lose them over and over,
sometimes many times a day.
When the loss, momentarily forgotten,
creeps up,
and attacks you from behind.
Fresh waves of grief as the realization hits home,
they are gone.
Again.
You don’t just lose someone once,
you lose them every time you open your eyes to a new dawn,
and as you awaken,
so does your memory,
so does the jolting bolt of lightning that rips into your heart,
they are gone.
Again.
Losing someone is a journey,
not a one-off.
There is no end to the loss,
there is only a learned skill on how to stay afloat,
when it washes over.
Be kind to those who are sailing this stormy sea,
they have a journey ahead of them,
and a daily shock to the system each time they realize, they are gone,
Again.
You don’t just lose someone once,
you lose them every day,
for a lifetime.
