The tears went unchecked down
my cheeks.
It would be pointless to try stopping
them, for I know they would not,
oh would not let up!
Sometimes you just gotta cry,
let out all your grief,
stop buddling up all your tears, and
shoving them down.
The tears wouldn't stop,
my breathing came in gasps,
this loss was nothing like losing
a beloved dog.
Just when I thought was ready
to say goodbye,
the tears jus' came faster.
I wanted to flee the grief, the pain...
where I was to go?
how do you escape your own grief? Pain?
(2 anyone who cares, this may not be too great, but it was something from my heart as I ached for my baby brother who had died all too soon. If you ever lost a sibling, you understand the grief and pain that rips at your heart.)

I can only imagine the pain in your tears. I've never lost a sibling - though I have lost babies - it hurts so much you feel like you can't breathe - and the echoes of it never completely fade. Grief like that is a horrible thing, and so much a part of life...
I will pray for you and your family...
Paula,I think your writing
Paula,
I think your writing is very great! I almost cried myself when I read you had lost your little brother! I don't understand very well about the feeling of when people leave us, all though I have lost a grandpa that was very close to me, but I have never experienced a loss that great. I love this piece though, not only because it is very well written, but it is written from the heart. I have been reading all of your pieces and I love each and every one of them. You grasp in you hands a very valuable gift of touching other people's lives. Very well done! And I am very sorry about your loss. Keep strong in the Lord and keep writing from your heart!

oh, Im so sorry!
I've never lost a sibling, but my dad died
two years ago.
So I do know how you feel, at least in part.
