Reflecting how it feels

Please, don’t ask me if I’m over it yet.
I’ll never be over it.
Please, don’t tell me she’s in a better place.
She isn’t here with me.
Please, don’t say at least she isn’t suffering.
I haven’t come to terms with
why she had to suffer at all.
Please, don’t tell me you know how I feel,
unless you have lost a child.
Please, don’t ask me if I feel better.
Bereavement isn’t a condition that clears up.
Please, don’t tell me at least you had her for so many years.
What year would you choose for your child to die?
Please, don’t tell me God never gives us
more than we can bear.

Please, just say you are sorry.
Please, just say you remember my child, if you do.
Please, just let me talk about my child.
Please, mention my child’s name
Please, just let me cry.
