15 Years On

18th March 2009 when my world fell apart

That fateful day when I was forced to make a new start

Cannot believe that 15 years have past

How time goes by so incredibly fast

The journey of grief changes as the years melt away

It’s a journey we’d rather not take but we do, day by day.

We make new friends – people we would never have met

I feel blessed, there are now special people in my life – for that I have no regret

So whether you are starting this journey

Or part way through

There is only one person that can be strong throughout and that is YOU

The grief, the pain, will always be there

The missing too

We make a new life – not the one we chose to do
