This profound poem made me think of my favorite quote by William Penn: "Those who love beyond the world cannot be separated by it." ♥️

That is lovely Rea, thank you 🤪And spot-on for my next post, Unbreakable Bonds (I think I got that title from a comment you wrote thinking about it…you are my muse!) x

Thank you for sharing this. Pain, frustration, reality, helplessness, longing along with other strands are all woven together to form this cord. This cord links together with all who feel its depth

Rea…

This gripped my heart. And then, quietly, held it.

It’s written so precisely… about something you can’t see, yet it keeps pulling you forward.

Not with words, but with strength.

Thank you for sharing this. There’s more truth in it than any one comment could ever hold.

This also touched my heart. To know we are always connected. Thank you, Dora.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and thoughts, so, so painful. But there is a hint of peace and a repositioning of love with in grief.

I hope, I explained that …

Thank you Rea

Rea de Miranda's avatar

You explained it perfectly, Mark! Peace eventually comes. Thank you. <3

It is a place that all too many find themselves, with questions that scream in the dark. Whilst it feels oh so very lonely, sadly many more have felt this loss and are forever bound together without knowing the others. Thank you for being you and allowing your pain to be seen

Rea de Miranda's avatar

I have found many mothers on here who knows this pain, Adrian. We survive because we love.

Thank you for seeing me. <3
