I’ll never be over it.

PLEASE don’t tell me she’s in a better place.
She isn’t here with me.

PLEASE don’t say at lease she isn’t suffering.
I wish she hadn’t suffered at all.

PLEASE don’t tell me you know how I feel
Unless you have lost your sister, your daughter, your friend.

PLEASE don’t ask me if I feel better.
Bereavement isn’t a condition that clears up.

PLEASE don’t tell me I’m lucky to have had her so many years.
She has missed so many.

PLEASE don’t tell me God never gives us more than we can bear.

PLEASE just say you are sorry.

PLEASE just mention her name.

PLEASE just say you will remember her.
