Such a sad day today.
It started well enough
And then I remembered –
Those who are gone
Those who have passed on
Whose voice I shall never hear again –
You.
Memories crash through
The numbness of my heart
And I am painfully aware –
Of the silence
The emptiness –
That you are gone.
It was a sad day today.

Such A Sad Day
It was a sad day today. Looking at the bright sunshine, one wished Kusum had been with us to share the warmth,
Then I remembered what someone had once said about loved ones who have transitioned.
Those whom we love live on in our hearts forever.
Agree, Vatsala, they are gone but forever in our hearts 🙏🌷❤️
This is heartbreakingly beautiful, Vanita. 💞💞
Thank you so much, Jas 🙏🌷❤️
This beautufully captures the raw ache of loss, speaking to grief with honesty.
Thank you so much, John 🙏🌷
