this poem is an updated version from the 2006 poem, “she flew”

she’s gone to the other side
leaving us in a state of mourning
no tears, no words soften the emotional blow
can’t take back how we took her for granted
and now anger, regret, and remorse
becomes who we are
until we accept the passage of time
is our biggest ally in healing from her absence

So telling that you wrote this poem in 2006 and it’s still with you, that grief. Sorry for your loss.
