My big brother died a month ago, he had just turned 23. He took his life after many years of trying to survive in his mind, when a life-changing event happened, and he could no longer keep going. I love him so much and miss him every day. We are three siblings I also have a little sister. We live in a complicated family where feelings are hard, manipulation is common, and you are just as good as your last performance. He is the smartest, best person I know, and I have always looked up to him. The things he struggled with, I struggle with to this day, maybe that's why I couldn't comfort him when he felt bad. I have always thought that it was I, not him. I never thought he would do it. Tomorrow is his funeral. This poem has helped me, thank you.
This is a beautifully written piece with a profound message. Great job. Susan

Miss Fleming: I was looking at a poem I wrote, SWEET THINGS FOR YOUR EAR, and I saw you left me a wonderful review. We seem to have the same outlook on life. I look back on my life a lot. I am 83, but I am in good health. I wrote a poem that seems to follow our thoughts, NO MORE WHIPPOORWILL. I don't read much anymore but love your work. Thanks again, Richard
I love this poem; it's just SO relatable! Plus, you should make more of it; this is a great way to start. Keep up the great work, and never give up. Good luck!
My mother was also my best friend and she passed away a week ago what hurts so much is that I and she found out after one day she awoke and couldn't walk or talk properly what scared me was we went to breakfast and Christmas shopping 3 days before she was diagnosed having a glioblastoma tumor. That was a level 4 there was nothing anyone could do. I lost my mom in 4 months after the tumor was found. I miss her so much her boyfriend tried to take away some of the pain he told me never to lose sight of all of the she has done. And to remember I was all she ever talked about but everything has changed but she wants me to be strong and I will always try to respect her even though now all I have is her spirit.
This poem has helped me understand my grief through my own poetry, beautiful are the words of grief, sadly all to well most if not all will experience pain and sadness in one way or another. Being able to express all feelings and thoughts through this great art is truly a gift and pleasure and a great comfort to me. D.M.Davis
It's been 4 months since I lost the love of my life. Together 16 years married for 8. I had no idea pain was able to get worse as time goes by. I think the shock is wearing off and I feel physically sick trying to imagine life without him. I don't want to leave my house because it hurts to see all the couples and reminds me of what I will never have again. I don't answer my calls because I'm tired of telling people I'm ok and I am so far from it. I don't ask for help because I don't want pity. I'm completely lost.
