The Things I Never Said [To You] | inksmoker

Dear grandma,

I'm sorry you lost him

I'm sorry he's no more

I know its hard

but I need you to be strong

to have faith

in what is planned

I can't see you like this

none of your children can see you like this

suffering, trembling in pain

I don't know how it feels

to lose a loved one to God

but it must feel like losing all that you've known

like losing a part of your soul

and having to let it go even though you don't know how

but even if I tried to explain it

I can't begin to fathom your pain and all that you're going through

forgive me if I don't say the right things

I know for a while you won't be ok

and it's okay

you need time to accept and grieve

but when you need a shoulder 

or a hand

your children will always be here

I pray it becomes easier for you
