The day you died I kissed your face four times

I knew it would be the last time I held you for the rest of my life

That is no life

I know you were afraid to die

I hope you have found comfort

Do you remember how I held your hand and lay my head on your shoulder

Even at that moment I couldn&`&t imagine life without you

People talk about broken hearts in songs or movies

Until that moment I had never known a true broken heart

Over and over I thought "How can I live without you?"

写作背景
I sat with my mom in the last days of her life. I told her everything would be ok. She went through the stages of death very slowly. I miss her.
在我母亲生命的最后几天里，我一直坐在她身边。我告诉她，一切都会好的。她缓慢地经历了死亡的过程。我想念她。

一段关于死亡的话
The death of someone close to us leave us shocked with grief. We cannot understand how one minute this person was here and the next they are gone. The truth is that those we love are never truly gone. The body may have run its course, but the soul lives forever. Every culture has its own traditions about death and reincarnation. The anxiety commonly felt about death in our culture is a result of a scientific schema which says that "if I don&`&t see it, it&`&s not there".
亲近的人死亡，总会让我们既震惊，又悲伤。我们无法理解，为何这一分钟这个人还在这里，下一分钟就离开了。事实是，那些我们爱的人从未真正离开。按照规律，身体会消失，但灵魂却能永生。每个文化都有关于死亡和重生的说法。我们之所以对死亡感到焦虑，是因为我们的文化中有这样一个科学模式“看不见，即不存在”。
