See Me
See Me
People do disappear from your life
They are afraid
That they will say or do the wrong thing
That they will somehow inadvertently cause you pain
That somehow your tragedy will affect them
That you will make them feel sad and face their own emotions
I AM here
I have need of comfort
I have need of conversation
I have need of knowing I can count on someone
I need some joy
I need some laughter
I need some companionship
I need some help
Don’t let me down
Don’t leave me here in this place
All alone

My best friend was so mean to me after the death of my husband...I had to finally delete her from my life.....Colleen
I sometimes wonder, Colleen, if we become a threat when we become widows-do you think other women might think that? I find it hard to believe that I could even think such a thing when I am in such pain from my loss but I think it might be so. I think also it might be that they are feeling unbalanced and what happened to us could happen to them. I always feel compelled to figure things out but sometimes you just have to let go.....
Perfectly said....thank you for sharing this poem....heartrending though it is...
