at the hospital, three times a week, 5 hours each time,
no words can express the grief, loosing
a good friend. Takes time to heal.


From here to Eternity


Eternity

reached out for his hand

finally freeing him

from his suffering

being connected

to a rubber tube.

I remember this. I have been there too-with my father and my younger brother. I am sorry for your painful loss. Time does help some and so does the comfort of good friends and loved ones.

Time is the best healer, I appreciate the footnotes as it helps with understanding and sensitivity. Seeing your friend go through so much can be very painful and the grief can be so tormenting.
I think you being there is everything. A presence share is a feeling felt. I appreciate your poem and the feelings shared.
