The following is from a client, from over a decade past, who wrote volumes about the loss of her young adult daughter who died suddenly in an auto accident in 2009.  She shared with me many of her writings, which were so poignant as to deeply move me!  Recently she gave me permission to post one of these writings, written in 2009 or 2010, on my blog.

It is my honor to share an excerpt, from many, that describes her unspeakable longing…..

“Many of the parents from [my] group have found solace in contacting mediums…to contact their children.  They    have ‘after life communications’ with their children.  Believe me, I have considered it often although I haven’t acted  on any suggestions from psychics….

I want so badly to talk to and see Mary again that I think I could twist every leaf dropping, door opening, bird call at 3 am, ray of sunlight, rainbow overhead, etc.,…as a ‘sign’ from her.  I don’t want to rely on signs other people tell me are links to Mary.  I want to see her standing in front of me.  I know I will see her when I leave this earth. But I want to see her now.  I don’t want to ‘think’ I see or hear her.  I want to know [Bold added].

So, for now, I’ll just get by as I have been…She has gone away for awhile.  She’s still my sweetie and I’m still her mom and we still take care of each other:

I only need to hear your voice
Just for one moment
To remind me you’re still here
If only for now
I only need to see you smile
Just for one second
To remind me of your love
If only for now

But I still need to know that you’ll always be with me
No matter what happens at the end of the day

I only need to feel your touch
Just for one second
To know you will hug me tight
Forever and a day.
