It feels like everyone has already moved on. I may be wrong, but that's how it appears to me. Even my husband had forgotten it was a week today since my Mum's funeral! I've had a very emotional day. I lit candles and played the music from the funeral whilst looking at photos of her. I'm an only child, so I suppose no one feels exactly the same as me, but I thought maybe an aunt or cousin (even friend) might have sent a text at least. I've written a poem.
Whilst arranging the funeral
The phone rang every day.
There were sympathy cards and texts
Support in every way.
Then the day after the funeral
There were a couple of calls and a text.
People returned to their daily lives
I was worried they'd soon forget.
Now, one week after the funeral
I'm still living in disbelief.
No one has phoned or text in 6 days
It now seems I'm alone with my grief.
I realise people have jobs etc and have to carry on with their lives, just a nod in my direction now it's exactly a week would've been comforting. It's after the funeral, when all that was left to do has been done that you need some support!
