The Heart Remembers

My first realization of the fact that my mom's death didn't, at all, effect the inhabitants of the world was literally a couple of hours after she had passed away. We were coming out of the hospital, walking to our car, and I saw traffic on the road. Cars were moving along, undisturbed. I was very shocked to see that and in that shocked state I asked my brother why there were cars on the road? Don't they realize our mom died today?! He looked at me and said she was our mom...... the world doesn't even know she existed. That broke something inside me. The hurt is still there.

I miss thee, my mother. Thy image is still the deepest impressed in my heart. ~ Eliza Cook
