9 tcf.org.uk Your Poems & Stories Thank you to all those have shared with us your stories and poems honouring and remembering your precious children and siblings. 365 days since I sat in that police station hearing them say there’d been a terrible accident, and you’d passed away. 365 days since you left 365 days since a hole was blown through my chest 365 days of experiencing agony I never knew existed It took hold of my heart, and it ripped it and twisted 365 days but a lifetime of tears and yet missing you forever will mean I shed many more lifetimes worth throughout the rest of my years. 365 days of wrapping my head around associating your name with death and died And feeling immense anger that so many of your dreams won’t be realised 365 days and 365 long broken nights of wondering, were you in pain? did you have to fight? and wherever you are now, are you alright? 365 days of questioning why and what for, but the answers won’t come you’re just not here anymore. 365 days since us who love you so deeply Also lost a part of our soul and a life we used to live cheerfully 365 days of using all my strength to hold it together when everyone is around Then closing the door and falling to pieces on the ground 365 days of thinking ‘this can’t be true’ but slowly starting to realise it is. We’ve lost you. 365 days so for others, the shock has passed and subsided But for us, it’s all-encompassing even though we try to hide it But then I remember there could be one thing that’s worse if we’d never had the time with you that we did on this earth 365 days of looking back on our lifetime together And holding on to every memory so tightly because they are the most precious treasure 365 Days Without You by Imogen, on the loss of her sister COMPASSION | YOUR POEMS & STORIES
