Losing Someone So Dear To Your Heart

I kept a journal for a year after Mom died. I would have my nightly ritual where I would look at pictures, read from a book of poems I read to her, look at her song book and write in my journal. It helped me stay connected to her. I really didn't know how I was going to carry on. I was just going through the motions. After caring for Mom day and night for two months my body mind and soul ached as I yearned to hear her voice or feel her gentle touch.
