Poem at three different memorial
Services.
The one today will be especially hard, because
Unlike the others, the husband's
Home going was sudden with no time to
Prepare.
And he was the caregiver for his
Wife.
He did everything for her.
Who will care for her now?
No one can possibly take a spouse's
Place.
Facing both grief and disability is a
Double burden.
My friend will need double hope,
Double healing,
Double help.
She will need lots of us to
Stand in the gap.
