(This is what I am saying at his funeral.) "When you lose someone you are not supposed to be sad you are supposed to be truthful and tell their stories. Give them a legacy.

Cooper showed me that it's ok to be sad or it's ok to be worried. He always told me to never lose the love or hope I had. If I did things would not be the things they are now.

I mean it used to always be Cooper and Charlie but now it's just Charlie. Cooper was my best friend now I am going to be alone the rest of my life." I looked up at him and said," Hey don't be down about what happened, you are great on your own you don't need your brother, you never really did need him you always did everything on your own.

I smiled and said," Yeah it will get better I promise." Charlie smiled and then kissed the top of my head, then we just sat there in the comfortable silence that was creeping its way into the room. I eventually fell asleep on Charlie's shoulder. He let me sleep in his bed and slept with his brothers. The next morning I woke up next to my husband, still in Charlie's bed.

  • Complicated Grief Essay

    721 Words  | 2 Pages

    Losing a child to death is every parent’s worst nightmare. When this tragedy does occur, research has shown that bereaved parents are significantly more likely to develop complicated grief in the wake of a child’s death. Complicated grief can be present in up to 15% of all individuals who are grieving; higher percentages are observed in grieving parents. Manifesting as a prolonging of the acute stage of grief, complicated grief is characterized by deep longing for the deceased; intense and persistent sorrow; preoccupation with or, conversely, avoidance of reminders of the one who died; and shock, anger, and bewilderment at the loss. Treatment for complicated grief is therefore likely to be more difficult than that of ordinary grief or bereavement,

    Funeral Blues by W. H. Auden is a short poem that illustrates the emotions that he is dealing with after the love of his life passes away. The tone of this piece evokes feelings that will differ depending on the reader; therefore, the meaning of this poem is not in any way one-dimensional, resulting in inevitable ambiguity . In order to evoke emotion from his audience, Auden uses a series of different poetic devices to express the sadness and despair of losing a loved one. This poem isn’t necessarily about finding meaning or coming to some overwhelming realization, but rather about feeling emotions and understanding the pain that the speaker is experiencing. Through the use of poetic devices such as an elegy, hyperboles, imagery, metaphors, and alliterations as well as end-rhyme, Auden has created a powerful poem that accurately depicts the emotions a person will often feel when the love of their live has passed away.
