My dad passed away in January 2024 after an 8 year battle with Alzheimer's. He was well-cared for by his wife, my stepmother and we, his children were grateful for that. However, she chose to alienate herself from his family in the past few years because we chose not to do the covid jab due to several family members getting sick and/or dying. This meant that when I went to see him the last time for Father's Day 2023, I was not allowed to hug him. I was devastated then and still today.
I have the opportunity to visit his urn at a mausoleum this month. I will be reading this poem. I am familiar with it and it is lovely. I miss him terribly. He was my champion.
Huge hugs for you, Signme, I do know how you feel I think, as my dad passed away 20 yrs ago from Alzheimer's. I wasn't there when he passed. He was my hero and an amazing man. What he taught me has been so valuable and helpful to me. I still cry when I think about him and wish he was here, there's so much I'd like to share with him. I'm sorry you weren't allowed to hug your dad, that has to be a horrible feeling. May you find comfort and be at peace, dear one. Prayers and hugs for you. ❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot. As I stated in a comment above, my situation is mild compared to the tragedy and trauma of so many others over the past few years. We're all being dehumanized by a culture that has gone insane.
Your last line sums it up so well - and it's so sad. How often I've had the same thought. When you consider all that humanity has built, created and discovered in our long history, only to be torn down by the evil ones, it's just so sad. But I also know that in order for the old ways to be defeated, they need to be uprooted when they no longer work and indeed that's where we're at IMO. New ways will be put in its place, I believe, so that we can move forward to a much better society. I think people who see what's really going on - and that very much includes folks like you who saw that the jabs weren't for our good but meant to harm us, are the ones who will build anew. We WILL win this war, I already see signs of it. Hang in there, I think this is the year when we will finally start to see things looking more hopeful. Your dad went to a much better place probably and you WILL see him again. Then you can give him as many HUGE hugs as you want with no one to interfere!!! Much love to you.
Sorry to hear about your loss Tritorch🙏. Beautiful poem and music . 🩷. My last living aunt died a few weeks ago and talked with her about where she was going while she was in hospice. Your stack essay resonated with me quite a bit and touched my heart . 💜 . Thank u .
How important and lovely that you got to talk to your aunt about her "future." As the last man standing of her generation, sounds like, I suspect she'd considered something about those that preceded her and bigger questions. I can barely stand it when the dying who speak frankly about it are met with thoughtless put offs like, "Don't talk like that." 😠 IMHO the taboo on talking about death is idiotic. Never mind. ...I don't know how you've kept going through this debacle, day after day. I couldn't do what you do. Just thinking about it makes me well up. Thank you for all you do for your corner of the world. Sorry to read of personal sorrow on top of what you meet with in your work. Sigh...
So much empathy for the struggle of heartache. A wish for feeling the difficult, walking through that fire, and peace in such measure as you may find it at many a varied point. We will all follow in our time.

No funeral gloom, my dears, when I am gone,
Corpse-gazings, tears, black raiment, graveyard grimness.
Think of me as withdrawn into the dimness,
Yours still, you mine.
Remember all the best of our past moments and forget the rest,
Tritorch: so sorry to hear about your loss. You've been having a difficult time lately it seems. This seems to be a time of cleansing, loss and growth and awakening. It's not easy to experience sorrow but it's good for us because it helps us see what is most valuable to us when we go through loss. May you find comfort in this time.
On another note, I ALWAYS read your articles because your writing is so beautiful and heartfelt. You seem to be such a soulful person, I'm always stirred by your comments. I hope you can find some solace at this time.

Much thanks for this nearly forgotten ode to eternity.
I remembered the long plane ride from Japan to my dad's death bed in the mountains of North Carolina, memorizing something similar — and not, and quoting from it at my father's funeral ceremony ... the lyrics to Joni Mitchell's "Shadows and Light". Rather than for "beauty", I chose the Platonic ideal of "truth" to consciously pursue ... not unlike Bill Evans at the piano, and hoped beauty and morality naturally arose from it.

Dr. Breggin, I hope you are well. I sent you a direct message, can you respond?

Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light
Blindness blindness and sight
The perils of benefactors
The blessings of parasites
Blindness blindness and sight
Threatened by all things
Devil of cruelty
Drawn to all things
Devil of delight
Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Governing blindness blindness and sight
Suntans in reservation dining rooms
Pale miners in their lantern rays
Night night and day
Hostage smile on presidents
Freedom scribbled in the subway
It's like night night and day
Threatened by all things
God of cruelty
Drawn to all things
God of delight
Mythical god of the everlasting laws
Governing day day and night
Critics of all expression
Judges in black and white
Saying it's wrong saying it's right
Compelled by prescribed standards
Or some ideals we fight
For wrong wrong and right
Threatened by all things
Man of cruelty-mark of Cain
Drawn to all things
Man of delight-born again born again
Man of the laws the ever-broken laws
Governing wrong wrong and right
Governing wrong wrong and right
Wrong and right
I’m so sorry you are experiencing this loss at this time. I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers.
Beautiful production! That was a wonderful poem and I'd never before heard that Paisley/Parton song.
You made my day.
Nice - -I'll leave it for those who might mourn my passing - - Different words, but the same message left to me by my Mom and Dad - - -
Sorry for your loss 🙏💞🙏
Thank you for this beautiful poem, TriTorch!😭🙏🏻 I am very sorry to hear about your dear friend.
