The toughest thing in the world is seeing someone close to you take a long time dying. I was fortunate in being close by the rehab my mother was in and was there pretty much every day for 5 months. She too passed in her sleep - when I wasn't there. <br /><br />I like your first haiku a lot. Windchimes are somthing she always liked and I never thought to bring them. Maybe the next visit I will because I visit my mother's grave often. I find comfort there.<br /><br />I once put a small, solar-powered butterfly light next to her stone. It didn't last long (the cemetery is not in a very nice neighborhood anymore) and a light in the cemetery probably freaked a lot of people out. bwahahahahaBuzz Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443964019621130222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-22429788922434617732012-02-06T23:43:20.591-05:002012-02-06T23:43:20.591-05:00Oh Fishy, this is so beautiful.

I am very glad you found the words to comfort your soul through haiku, and very glad that you have been able to bring up the subject in this post. It is so hard to keep going sometimes; it is so hard to NOT keep going other times -- because if you slow down or stop or give yourself a minute to think about things, that fear of falling apart is there. But it is okay to fall apart and grieve and cry your eyes out. I think it is necessary. A grief counselor I heard speak once said that the grief will come in bursts. Like a cloud burst. Sometimes strong and hard, sometimes gentle and sweet, but grief it will be. And soon that burst is over. You know another one will come along. I hope that maybe your bursts are starting to lighten and allowing you to open up about all that has happened. Not sure when the crying stops ... my mom passed 16 years ago and I still get choked up. Peace be with you, Fishy Fishy. Mama Fish still loves you and I know you can feel it.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357397551761295138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-19274757982056724212012-02-06T22:36:09.861-05:002012-02-06T22:36:09.861-05:00Iffin' I could reach ya', I'd hug ya&#...Iffin' I could reach ya', I'd hug ya' Fishy.

You know it's coming and you can't stop it. Yet you feel you should be able to do just that. Stop it make everything better. It doesn't work that way. Understanding and appreciating the natural cycle of life can help. It was her time to pass and by all accounts she produced a beautiful intelligent daughter, a granddaughter and seven sons. She has done what she was meant to do. <br /><br />Bless her for her contribution and except that it's nature's passage.Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233754448811631284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-35413105417954188042012-02-06T17:41:21.368-05:002012-02-06T17:41:21.368-05:00Fishy, beautiful post explaining loss...it is univ...Fishy, beautiful post explaining loss...it is universal that time of leaving...I am so sorry. I went to my mothers grave just this past saturday. The grass had covered over the dirt that was there my last visit. I laid a single rose on it and prayed that God have her and keep her -shes probably cracking everyone up with her witty reparte. <br /><br />all your haiku are good but the angel statue is my favorite.

I make videos when I'm at my most stressed and you wrote this collection of very personal and loving haikus. And you walked the reader through the process. I really hope writing this post and hitting the publish button brings you comfort. <br /><br />The wind chime one is my favorite.<br /><br />Bless you Fishy.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280822962202098606noreply@blogger.com
