Please don't tell me you know how I feel,

Unless you have lost your child too,

Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal,

Because that is just not true,

Please don't tell me my son is in a better place,

Though it is true, I want him here with me,

Don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face,

Beyond today I cannot see,

Don?t tell me it is time to move on,

Because I cannot,

Don?t tell me to face the fact he is gone,

Because denial is something I can't stop,

Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had,

Because I wanted more,

Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad,

I'll never be as I was before,

What you can tell me is you will be here for me,

That you will listen when I talk of my child,

You can share with me my precious memories,

You can even cry with me for a while,

And please don't hesitate to say his name,

Because it is something I long to hear everyday,

Friend please realize that I can never be the same,

But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become

someday.

I've never lost a child before, and I don't

understand all these emotions I am feeling.

Will you try to understand and help me?

PLEASE LET ME MOURN

I may act and appear together, but I am not.

Often it hurts so much I can hardly bear it.

PLEASE LET ME MOURN

Don't expect too much from me. I will try

to help you know what I can and cannot handle.

Sometimes I am not always sure.

PLEASE LET ME MOURN

Let me talk about my child. I need to talk,

it's part of the healing. Don't pretend nothing

has happened, it hurts terribly when you do.

I love my child very much, and my memories

are all I have now. They are very precious to me.

PLEASE LET ME MOURN

Sometimes I cry and act differently,

but it's all part of grieving. My tears are

necessary and needed and should not be held back.

It even helps when you cry with me.

Please don't fear my tears.

PLEASE LET ME MOURN

What I need most is your friendship, your sympathy,

your prayers, your support, and your understanding love.

I am not the same person I was before my child died

and I never will be again.

Hopefully we can all grow from this tragedy.

PLEASE LET ME MOURN

God gives me the strength to face each day

and the hope that I will survive with His help

and yours. Time will heal some of the pain,

but there will always be an empty place in my heart.

PLEASE LET ME MOURN

And Thank You for helping me through the most

difficult time of my life.
