Wednesday's Woe - Child-Loss Grief and Trauma Throws You Back In Time... ~Tommy and Angie Prince

Wednesday's Woe

Child-Loss Grief and Trauma

Throws You Back In Time...

~Tommy and Angie Prince

In grieving Merry Katherine, we have noticed in our Loss-of-Child Grief and Trauma, this Grief is unlike anything we have ever experienced.

When we are so much in the throes of grief, as such intense grief is occurring, it feels like the devastating emotion will never end...

We are thrown back in time...

To as far back as the day we first found out...

Day One.

Ground Zero.

...We become debilitated and upset to the degree that we feel we will never come out of it again.

(And indeed, at some deep level in our bodies and souls, we never will completely come out of our deep sadness.)

But reprieves do come.

You just cannot envision such devastating emotion ever letting up as you are going through it.

All time melts away to nothing,

and you are Back There...

facing that Stark Reality in all its force:

My child is GONE.

Our world,

STOPPED.

Our hearts,

BROKEN.

Sands of Time...

Time and the Child-Loss Griever

Time to Say Goodbye

~Sarah Brightman

When I am alone I sit and dream

And when I dream the words are missing

Yes I know that in a room so full of light

That all the light is missing

But I don't see you with me, with me

Close up the windows,

bring the sun to my room

Through the door you've opened

Close inside of me

the light you see

that you met in the darkness

Time to say goodbye

Horizons are never far

Would I have to find them alone

without true light of my own with you

I will go on ships over seas that I now know

No, they don't exist anymore

It's time to say goodbye

When you were so far away

I sit alone and dream of the horizon

Then I know that you are here with me, with me

Building bridges over land and sea

Shine a blinding light for you and me

To see, for us to be

Time to say goodbye

Horizons are never far

Would I have to find them alone

without true light of my own with you

I will go on ships over seas that I now know

No, they don't exist anymore

It's time to say goodbye

So with you I will go on ships over seas that I now know

No, they don't exist anymore

It's time to say goodbye

So with you I will go...

I will go ....

Original performance in Italian with lyrics and English translation of these lyrics found at http://www.puro.me :

Con te partiro

Time to Say Goodbye

Quando sono sola

sogno all'orizzonte

e mancan le parole,

si lo so che non c'e luce

in una stanza quando manca il sole,

se non ci sei tu con me, con me.

Sue le finestra

mostra a tutti il mio cuore

che hai accesso,

chiudi denreo me

la luce che

hai incontrato per strada.

Time to say goodbye. - Con te partiro.

Paesi che non ho mai

veduto a vissuto con te,

adesso si li vivro.

Con te partiro

su navi per mari

che, io lo so,

no, no, non esistono piu

It's time to say goodbye. - con te io li vivro.

Quando sei lontana

sogno all'orizzonte

e mancan le parole,

e io si lo so

che sei con me, con me,

tu mia luna tu sei qui con me,

mio sole tu sei qui con me,

con me, con me, con me.

Time to say goodbye. - Con te partiro.

Paesi che non ho mai

veduto e vissuto con te,

adesso si li vivro.

Con te partiro

su navi per mari

che, io lo so,

no, no, non esistono piu,

con te io li rivivro.

Con te partiro

su navi per mari

che, io lo so,

no, no, non esistono piu,

con te io li rivivro.

Con te partiro

io con te.

Sands of Time:

Time and the Child-Loss Griever

Sands of time sifting slow

Like they're not sure where to go:

"Can we just suspend in air

As we're stuck ~ paralyzed there ~ ?

We don't know which end's up,

Which way to go ~ life is stuck ~

If we do move ahead ~

We just pile up ~ like we're dead!

Can we go back to reclaim

Life as it was, before death came?

Tell us please, which way is up...

Each time we're turned, it's down, not up!"

Sands of time sift so slow

Like they're not sure where to go.

Time stands still, child-loss grievers know.

May our Lord minister to you throughout this new year of 2011 as you continue to grieve your precious child.
