Comfort for Thanks Giving Day
by Susie E. Caron © 11/21/15
 
It’s the week of Thanks Giving
And everyone knows
We’re supposed to be grateful

And let it all show
​

 


But what if there’s something

That tore you apart
It’s hard to give thanks
With a broken heart.
 
Who do you tell?
Where do you go?
How do you manage

To put on a show
 
Losses surround us
And the everyday things
Make people move onward
Small comfort they bring
 
Who do you tell?
Who sees and who knows
You’re trying to manage

And let it all go
 
Where can you travel
To hug and to cry
There are fewer who notice
As time passes by
 
How do you manage
To put on a show
On a day called Thanks Giving
When they really don’t know

All the pain that you carry
And you wish for a while
You could lay it aside
And wear your true smile
 
It’s time for Thanks Giving
Friends and family all know
You’ll play your part

To let gratitude show.
 
But what will it cost you?
How much will you spend?
You feel really lonely

And need to pretend
 
That you’re really okay now
And getting along
But you wish to sit by yourself
And sing your sad song

 
How long will this take
Hours, days, week or years
For healing and comfort
To dry up your tears

 
I don’t know.
 
It’s different for everyone
Grief’s hard to do
Be good to yourself
Take time out for you
 
To feel all your feelings
Each and every one
Call to them and name them
Until your grief is done
 
I pray you’ll be comforted
This Thanks Giving Day
I hope someone will hug you
And hear what you say.
 

Someday you’ll feel better
When the past’s far behind
But remember how you felt when
Your life was unkind

 
And notice someone’s hurting
Reach out to them and pray
That they will feel you comfort them
On Their Thanks Giving Day.

    These are from my former life with many current memories and helps for parents. 
    I retired from teaching, became a psychotherapist treating children and families and an author. After retiring I became a full time artist. 
    I recently reopened this parenting blog because I believe wisdom is to be shared. 
     

    Author of Chidren's Books,
    Christian, Wife, & Mother, I want to help you build parent-child relationships, 1 blog, & books at a time.
    When I'm not  busy creating articles or paintings, you might find me  looking for dark chocolate or playing with my Boxer, Josie.

    Just wanted to say that I love your posts about the different ways to connect/relate/understand your child. It has given me a new approach towards understanding my daughter and allowing HER to tell me how she feels instead of me suggesting to her how she should feel. Thanks Susie!
