The obituary notice of Barrie LINCOLN

I Miss My Son
~~
The loss of your son,
no matter how old you are,
changes your life forever.
Your son is your first and forever friend.
You never really get over the loss,
but you learn to live with it.
He is never far from your thoughts,
and he is always in your heart.
~ ~
The words "I miss you" don't seem strong enough.
They're too soft, too small, too quiet.
There's no phrase big enough for this kind of absence.
"I miss you" feels too small for what this feels.
~ ~
Whoever put a stopwatch on grieving was wrong.
Did someone just suddenly decide that we should
stop crying on a particular day?
" You're time is up, move on".
No, there is no "stopwatch" on grief.
We will grieve for the rest of our lives if we so choose.
~ ~ ~ ~
You are Always remembered each and everyday.
Love Mum

The most painful words I've ever heard
were when i was told that my child was gone.
Those words pierced right through my heart
like a bullet hole, killing me instantly yet leaving
me to breathe.
It's something that i can never fully explain.
It shattered my very soul.
Those words demolished me in so many ways,
and my world has never been the same again.
I don't look at anything the same as before that tragic day.
How could I? Nothing will ever be the same again.
My heart aches and cries everyday.
~ ~
There were a million things i wanted to say to you
and Goodbye wasn't one of them.
~ ~
"He's gone; they said.
And in that moment my heart shattered
into a million pieces,
and my whole world turned black.
~ ~ ~ ~
Forever in my thoughts.
Always in my Heart.
Love Mum

My son is a star that will never fade.
I miss his laughter, his energy,
and the love he brought into my life.
Love you forever.
~ ~
You don't just cross my mind,.
You live in it.
You've built a home in the corners
of my thoughts,
in the pauses between words,
in the quiet moments when the world forgets
but I never do.
~ ~
Sometimes I can't control my tears,
when I hear a song that remind me of you.
I really miss you dearly.
~ ~
Grief never ends...
But it changes, it's a passage,
not a place to stay,
Grief is not a sign of weakness,
nor a lack of faith...
It is the price of love.
~ ~ ~ ~
words can say it all...
Love as Always Bar

The day my son died
i became somebody new
a totally different person.
Someone i never knew
i am not who i used to be.
I am definitely not the same.
The only thing that has not changed
is the spelling of my name.
I cry more than i ever did
i break down quite a lot.
My heart hurts everyday
The pain will never stop.
A mother gives her son life
And a love unlike no other.
When all of that is taken away.
She then becomes a Grieving Mother.

Love and Miss you Bar
Every single day
15 years Today without you
so sad so very sad.

And within a second
My child was gone.
Why...Why my child.
I was not ready,
I would never be ready.

I Miss you Bar

Still hurts like it was yesterday..
Love always
Mum and Dad
