On the eve of your birthday Mum. We all love and miss you every day but you are never far from our thoughts - always in our hearts. THE LOSS OF A MOTHER Donna Ashworth Is an inevitable part of our life. We know it will come around and we know the day will hurt but we are not prepared, never prepared for the tearing. The tearing of a part of our soul from its very seams stitches pulled asunder heart wrenched in half soul split in two. But that tearing is not what you may think it is it is not her leaving you it is the loss of her physical form which you have been so very used and attached to. And now she must remove that part for it no longer serves you and you no longer need it despite what you may think. Because she made you well and she built all of her love into you cell by cell thought by thought lesson by lesson. And the split that you feel is simply the new, the new way you will carry on your love for your mother with your mother just in a different way for she did not leave mother’s cannot leave they are in you look inside she’s there and that is unable to be taken now that is all yours to keep for evermore.
