Good morning, Ricky: This poem is so deep and as a parent who has also loss my oldest son and my last daughter in death but also my mother, my two sisters, my brother-in-law my aunt and my niece. I lost them all so closely around the same time. I can truly relate to your pain.

Your poem has made your pain very clear and the fact that it is hard fro you to want to keep living with so much loss.

I know the pain that I still feel everyday and sometimes I want to reach into my chest to rip out my own heart just to stop the aching but I still have three children of my own. They depend on me to keep living so I could see that when someone loses both wife and son, the pain is unbearable. I do still have this same unbearable pain. Have I had my days when I just want to end it all? Oh yes! But I have not come close to this reality expressed in this poem. I see that you have posted this as a spiritual non-fiction so if this is the truth then let me say that I am happy that you survived. We may keep living with the pain of all of our loss but we must keep living. Keep reaching for God, the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. You will receive comfort from this God of Comfort and love. You will receive strength and endurance but keep praying for these things for He is the Hearer of Prayers. Stay strong my friend. Your poem is well written but it it very sad. Much Love...you are in my prayers. Keep the faith, my friend.

Hebrews 11:6 - 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (New International Version (NIV)

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! GOOD LUCK IN CONTESTS, TODAY! You have my thumbs up to launch you forward. Check out my 2 books in my profile, and tell me why you think I only sold 7 of these 2 books in an entire year? I am so sad sick depressed down. Do you think $7.99 is too much for these books? If you think I should lower price, then what should I lower it to? One is a poetry book and one is a short story book. You be my Marketing and Advertising Consultant! lol liberty justice

Try as we may, the day we depart is not our call at all. He will send angels but they can only intervene IF it is to save us prior to our designated time to go. Your story clearly shows that it is His will and never ours. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

    The thing that I didn't put out in this piece which I've done before is that after my son died for 3 months just about almost every day I'd say 90% it rained to agree it was so bad that by the time spring was ending my deck in the back at turn green but it wasn't raining that was coming down it was tears and it was wasn't unhappy tears coming down it was happy tears coming down from the Angels Above because they got their brother Jason back up there where he used to live with them and now Heaven is Again full of love hope you enjoy that little Edition take care of my dear and Jason's girlfriend here on Earth was named...
    Angel.

And you go on because you have to, it is not for you to decide when there is more to do in this life than sit and stew. Right?

    I bar when I wrote that in 06 I was under a terrible two year grieving. And only for short time was I out of it when it came back 10 times as bad that's why I did what I did to myself and I don't regret it to this very day because it was either do that or go completely insane what good is a human being insane forever in the mental hospital with any doesn't even realize or she what's going on so by going through that suicide I broadened my life and interest in a different directions realizes suffering and pains of others and try to help the best I can thanks for your time and wonderful review

This speaks volumes of irreparable losses, within a few years, only son and only wife passed, then each day poet want to kill himself; many questions asked to God about state of life. DR ALCREATOR

A very well-written heartfelt and extremely sad poem. When everything you lived for is taken away and we are left alone to live day by day without our loved ones. We have no hope to carry on. There is always a reason we can't understand why God will let us suffer so much.

That is so sad, Ricky, to have lost both son and wife, must be life shattering. I can feel your pain in these words, they jump out at the reader. I am so sorry for your painful loss of the two people you loved more that life itself. Jay lives on in you, and I imagine both your wife and son are nearby watching over you. Bid hugs, my friend.
