Goodbye dear friend....

A dear friend who had been suffering for the past year passed away an hour ago - We watched her struggle ...
**************************************************************************
She fought her war with death with bravery.
Scorning each time it raised its ugly face.
In her heart, there was not a single trace
Of anger or feelings unsavoury.

First it was a misbehaving liver,
That caused her terrible pain and grief.
Medication gave her little relief.
But in God she was a great believer.

She let surgeons wield their scalpels freely,
On the promise of a new lease of life.
In truth they only caused more pain and strife,
Friends and family watched her helplessly.

Today, the Angel of Death embraced her
She breathed her last without knowing fear

RIP my dear friend

A sad, powerful and poignant piece that is beautifully written for your friend. Surgical intervention can leave us praying, but disappointed. Sorry for your loss. xxxxx

Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your dear friend Sandra. Her struggle is admirable yet it ended in grief, and I really feel your heartfelt words. It is the ones who are left behind who also suffer with grief, and knowing she is at rest in a better place can hopefully give you some form of comfort Sandra...

A beautiful tribute verse for your friend. It is a treasure to be remembered with such love!
It is hard to watch loved one suffer and in death, her pain is no more.
