I lost my mum on the 17th March 05. How do I feel I should think like evryone who has lost a loved one sad, angry, lost, lonely, hurt to think that I won't be able to see her or talk to her anymore. My bestfriend Rose lent me some books on Doris Stokes an ordinary housewife with an extraordinary gift, a clairaudient who has brought comfort and joy to millions. Rose said Dawnie you should read these maybe they will help you. I have been reading these books since we found out about mums illness. Brain Tumour terminal grade 3. I would never thought that they would help I have cried, laughed,screamed and after all that felt better well a little anyway. But one poem that will always be with me from Doris Stokes book was the one I was reading to my Mum before she took her last breath and I would love to share it with all of you I keep it in the locket Mum gave me at christmas. It doesn't seem to long ago we came to say goodbye, we held your hand and kissed your face And had our private cry. You looked so peaceful lying there It was hard to realize That when you left us here on earth You simply closed your eyes. So if it's true what people say We have no cause to fear For God will take you by the hand And ever keep you near. We wouldn't wish for you to stay And suffer day by day So when God took your hand in his It was as if to say No need to suffer any more Mum So let's quietly slip away. I hope you all like it and it gives you some comfort like it gives me and I know that when I read this at Mums funeral she would of been so proud and I know she is here with me always as you family who you have lost are with you all and think of the good times not the bad times. Take care everyone my thoughts are with you all. Dawnie.
