Therapy Homework Assignment Mood
Monday, November 2, 2009 | A Painful story

My therapist gave me homework that has to be handed to him Thurs. morning.  He knows I love to write - so he suggested I write a poem - that sums up my feelings on the loss of Shaun.

 

This is it: & I think all of us can associate.

 

My Homework

No moon
 Nor sun
  or pleasant sign

View beauty through
 blank eyes of mine

Cornered by
 demons of death

Knock me along
 steal my breath
  regard to life is effortless

Deadened by death
 crushed in endurance to accept

Merciless time wasted 
 with pain of want that strikes my bones
  to hammer my fist when God took you Home.

    we may feel like it is time wasted, but everything we endure n life is like walking through the fire so that we may b shaped & moded into what God wants us 2 b. i can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. may the joy of the Lord b r strength. it takes a strong person 2 admit & accept whhen they need help. i'm very proud of u & i'm lifting u up n my prayers. praying 4 your healing from the top of your head 2 the bottom of your feet. all we need is the faith of a mustard seed & i know that u have way more than that. keep reaching up because God has many supernatural blessings 4 u 2day & everyday. thanks 4 all that u have gave 2 me. u r an encourager. hugs & love, bess

    I do think that you should write when you are low and when you are not so low...it is an excellent way to release the sorrows in your heart..love to you...Karen

    You are sooo in tune with your thoughts, and it is good therapy,--I also agree with Karen, that you should right when you are down,--but also when things are a little better, and compare the two. God Bless you, Hon! Love, Judy

    I think writing really does help to express the unspeakable pain in the heart of a mother who has lost a child. You are a gifted writer, I am sorry it is so sad.
    You have experienced so much loss, and such profound loss. I know it sounds trite, but the passage of time does seem to soften the journey a bit.
    As the months go by I am settling into an acceptance that I never believed possible. It will never stop hurting. You have strong urge for life, you are fighting to survive this, and you will. There is nothing more magnificent or sacred than our eternal spirit moving toward healing and understanding. It is why we are here. And it is why our precious babies are not.
    There really are choices in every situation, in every tragedy, even this. Keep choosing to heal Deni, you are doing great.
    Uber hugs, Rebecca

    This is very good Deni. I also think you should write more when you are low or when you are not low....Hugs, Connie

    Deni, many of the Psalms were written in anger and sadness but David also wrote praises...he lost three of his sons....if I have counted right....and he cried out in written word to God in his grief and his joy....He was a man "after God's own heart.".....Please continue to write....I think this poem is an intimate account of a mother's brokenness and anger....well written. I think you do it well. Love and peace to you, friend....Dale...Brandon's Mom

    Deni, I think your therapist has it right in suggesting that you (we) write about our feelings. Perhaps we can find some sort of relief that way. Thank you so much for sharing your writing with us.
