My shadow walks alone`

My oxygen was love and now I am starved,

My life is nothing now we are halved,

Are you where shadows do not fall,

Everday your name I will call,

The pain you felt I could tell,

Heaven awaits youv`e already been to hell,

The hardest day has left my heart like stone,

As now my shadow walks alone,

This is so beautiful and heartfelt....

Things have happened so quick with your mum, your head must be in such a spin not knowing which way to turn.. But I am sure your kids and family will keep you strong during this difficult time...your mum is very lucky to have you.

Sorry to jump to the wrong conclusion! I hope that things improve for her and that the pain is at least bearable!

Either way I am still thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts to you all!

Hi Shaun

Beautiful heartfelt poem. Stay strong for your mums sake. I lost my dear mum to this disease 10 years ago, thought I was on top of it knowing symptoms etc.... but I was diagnosed last November with PPC which is much the same. I have been in remission since June and feel really well so never give up hope.

Much love to you and your mum

A lovely poem, Shaun, and showing the harrowing thoughts you are having. I am so sorry for what you are going through. My heart goes out to you. Try and stay strong and upbeat for your dear Mom - as a Mum myself, I am sure she will be worrying about YOU.

Sending you loving, positive good wishes to help you through what ever is to come,

Oh Shaun what a beautiful poem, I've got tears streaming down my face from reading it. I truly know how you feel with your Mum, as my Dad was in Worcester and Redditch Hospitals too - he was moved around like a yo-yo. None of the doctors seemed to have a clue as to how to treat him so just moved him on - he was in seven different beds between the two hospitals over a six month period. He died in March this year when I was in the middle of chemotherapy. It was a truly dreadful time so my heart goes out to you. Please God your Mum won't suffer for too much longer and you will gain strength from knowing you were there for her right until the end.

God Bless.

Love Liz X
