An interesting topic for a competition... to ditch an emotion !
Sadness because of grief, because of losing a child, I think that there is no greater pain. To be able skip that pain would be great for sure BUT the pain is attached to memories and the memories... we would never want to lose.
Excellent poem, and I am very sorry for your loss friend.

Thank you for reading this "hard to pen" poem. Yes, memories are forever and the sadness may fade in time. The pain will ease but the tear in my heart will be a scar forever. I appreciate your positive comments.
Have a good Sunday.

In my opinion, a striking poem in construction and emotional message. My condolences for your great loss. I can relate, because I too lost a daughter. The only reason my grief is more tolerable, is because we were estranged for years before her passing. Your poem appears to comply perfectly with the prompt, and I wish you good luck in the contest...

I appreciate your positive comments. I am sorry for your loss. When I lost my precious daughter we were having issues so I can relate but there are still what ifs...did I do enough to save to her? That question will never find an answer.
Have a good Sunday.

A good poem pulls the reader into its emotion. Yours does that. I can not begin to completely understand the depths of your personal grief, but in this I can empathize with you, and feel it. We've just lost someone we loved as well, and you've described those feelings very well. Thank you for sharing it.

Oh, how sad. My heart goes out to you for your tragic loss; this would cause me madness indeed and your faith will get you through no doubt but of course you must be torn with grief. Take comfort knowing that others care and you have His love. Blessings my friend, Giddy

Comment from Air Spirit
Your poem painfully but poignantly describes the level and extent of your loss of your daughter. The words you repeat over and over again "...Ditch It" sound like a mantra, where in you are commanding the Grief to be evicted. I truly hope your healing brings you some sort of peace for this horrific tragedy.. and that God watches over you and cradles you in his arms..

Comment from victor 66
My friend, there is always going to be loss. I'm seventy-one, old but not yet dead. My grandmother, who for the most part raised me, lived to be ninety-two. She out lived her parents, obviously... but she also out lived her husband, all eight siblings, all of her friends, and the worst, all four of her children. I remember her telling me, "I wish someone would just take a hammer and hit me in the head".
When I was younger, I thought things would become simpler. They do not.
Sorry about the rambling.

I feel for your loss, Mystery Writer;
=>Loss is something everyone asked princes and they definitely understand and if
not, as there is no explanation I can think of why.
=>I like the attitude of ditching it, as I should think of that the next time I come
through these specifics that you listed above.
=>Good luck in the contest in all your endeavors and take care and have a good one Mystery Writer.

Oh dear God, how horrific! I cannot imagine anything worse than losing a child. I have only one, a daughter. If anything happened to her, it would kill me. I don't know how you feel, but I suspect that I can almost guess. God bless you.
