I lived through this, every word resonates. You captured it all. I so hope you can find some musician to set this to music. It is so beautiful, I wept---in a good way, because its such a relief to know that others know the pain,
Thank you for sharing this with us, Caitlin. You captured love in its lifelong beauty and grief with such grace and simplicity. Much peace to you and your family.
Caitlin, this is just stunningly beautiful and heartbreaking. And I can hear a melody in my head already...But for now I’ll just re-read it a few more times, and let you know my heart breaks for you. But what a precious thing to have had - to lose, as the prevailing words of comfort go. Thank you for sharing this with us. I am so sorry.
Beautiful, Caitlin. If this is a personal, secondhand story in your life, I will say what my hospice friend does in these circumstances, that I'm wishing you and her or him a peaceful heart.
So very touching. Words coming from the heart. I pray and hope, Caitlin, that whatever or if anything is going on, you have the strength to handle whatever may come your way.
I read this with love and dread. My mom is starting to slip away. From everything I've heard and read, it is slow at first and then fast. We talk often. Glad I'll finally get to see her in person again in a few months. Fucking covid and international travel. I don't know how long we have, but I'm treasuring every day. Thanks for this.

Only those of us who have lost a soulmate can feel the depths of grief that you so elegantly express.

Thank you Caitlan, beautiful lyrics
Demis Rousseau has a song titled Goodbye my Love Goodby. It’s one of my favorite.
Your poem is wonderful.
