Peer Support Poem for FOSL
(By Annette Covey)
In the absence of a magic wand to put our worlds to right
We’ll share our peer to peer support and hold each other tight
We may not have the answers, nor know quite what to say
But we’ll listen with an open heart to help you find your way
We will not make a judgment though others may have done
The stigma cast by the uninformed it really isn’t fun
You may have witnessed trauma, felt fear and pain as well
Felt trapped in isolation not knowing who to tell
You may have heard some unkind words about your loved ones death
The power of them though not intent you gasp and lose your breath
Through anger, guilt and hurting we’ll lend a guiding hand
United in our Suicide grief we’ll help you make a stand
Sharing through connections along the bumpy road
Through tears of anguish and despair let’s help you share your load
Shock, disbelief and numbness some complicated grief
Tears, laughter, mixed emotions, some powerful, others brief
At times it won’t be easy, we cannot tell a lie
Shared stories we may need to tell you’ll wish you could pass by
But walk with us, talk with us, together help us through
Some music, poems, readings, friendships pure and true
