When in my bad phase,
I am advised to move on,
I don’t know what to respond,
But, today I want to ask.
Have you ever thought?
Why I prefer to stop?
I want to live the moments,
Which for you are history.
I want to stay stuck there,
And it may sound you like a mystery.
The fact is I want to re-live those moments,
I want to cherish those happy times.
To move ahead,
One needs a path,
A way, A direction,
A motive, A target,
A purpose, A desire,
To reach a destination.
But my journey is now over,
From the moment I was born,
You stood by me Mom,
Now, when you are gone,
I have stopped to the point,
Where you last stood by me.
I don’t want to move forward,
For the fear of getting lost.
All I can see ahead is darkness,
And, there is so much resistance,
Even if I try hard,
I am unable to move further.
I prefer to halt and look back
To the days that were brighter
To the moments we spent together.
Looking ahead makes me restless,
As I don’t see you holding my hand,
My journey has come to an End.

I totally get it. Sometimes the hardest part of grief is everyone telling you to move on when you don’t want to move on without your loved one.

Yes, you got it right and it makes me feel so comfortable. In the time of grief one just needs an ear to hear, a shoulder to cry on and an heart to understand your feelings. Unwanted advices in such a delicate and fragile time ends up doing more bad than good. Thanks for understanding ne and making me feel better.

You’re welcome, hun. My grandmother died this past March, and I’m still grieving myself. I think a part of me always will. I don’t want to move on. I always want to remember her, and I don’t want there to come a day when I’m desensitized to the pain – when I don’t get emotional thinking about her. ‘Cause that would be like I don’t care as much anymore, and I always want to care that she’s gone – if that makes any sense?
