Unbearable

Ah! This is so sweet! I've always wanted children and that's off the table for me. (I'm 64). But I've experienced loss. I can feel the grief here. And the brevity of your poem just adds to its potency. Many Blessings to You and Yours. ⚡️💙 Bill⚡️

well written

Heartwrentching and heartbreaking!!! Well done!!!❤️❤️💕

Felt so deeply... Those who know...KNOW. A capture of indescribable moments and you wrote all in between them. *Head bowed*

I'm sorry ❤️

I can’t imagine the depth of your pain, but I want you to know that everything will be alright soon 💓 .

Oh, this one pulls on the heartstrings! So many actions of love turned to grief here. Wonderful, powerful work!

So heartbreaking, expertly captured Christy and a beautiful nonet all the same!!

oh this was so sad ❤️

Oh my goodness I felt like crying after reading this one. My heart goes out to you, Christy. I can’t imagine

Wow! This just grabs you by the soul.

I can relate to this very much. It reminds me of that sinking feeling that I felt after losing my baby. I think many parents who have lost babies will be able to relate. I love how you have described the sadness that accompanies such loss in your poem. I particularly love the line 'abandoned pink bunnies' because that line reveals the heartbreak of loss and how we close ourselves in because of the overwhelming grief it brings with it. This is beautiful, sad and a tearjerker. I stand with you.

Oh, Christy, this is so raw, I could feel the pain that has no outlet except to take one step away, and then another, knowing it will never be the same. Beautifully done, and if it is your experience, my heart goes out to you. What I especially appreciated is the couple closed themselves off together. Often it is too much for one partner and they leave, but that glimmer of togetherness you gave us made this stand out even more!! Excellent work, my friend!

As someone without a maternal bone in her body, I always have trouble with these kinda circumstances but death, in any form is always devastating. Loved your Nonet!

Oh goodness. This was crushing. You expressed those feelings of grief so well. Wishing you all the best.

devastating and painfully and beautifully articulated.

This is utterly hollowing.

Devastation of the highest order! This is so well written and absolutely heartbreaking. The imagery in the first half is so powerful and then the emotional distress and overwhelming despair captured in the second half just ripped me apart

This is absolutely heartbreaking, Christy. The hardest grief of them all. Beautifully and sensitively written!

The one unbearable grief. The one you never get over. The paper bags follow you. Powerful nonet, Christy.

Well-wrought! So many layers in such a compact piece!

So, so accurately powerful and painful.

Wow. There are so many layers here. Excellent!

Such a accurate description of loss. Heartbreaking
