Nice poem : more comma need Tom, as.

I suddenly lost my husband on the 14th march, and this is exactly how I feel. Night night Lenny xxxxx💔

Still, sometimes I miss this man. This man remains as a little price in a bright star in sky.

RIP to me

What a wonderful way to support those in need.

I love this reading. It is so powerful.

On forr weddings, for me this was the best bit, words, verse, DH , got this just right...fantastic.

I might have behchet disease. I am hurting so bad that between 0 and 10 I am at level of 7 or 8. I live with this pain everyday and I try not to let anyone notice I am in pain. If i did not have my kids I don’t know what I would do.

This is a lovely tribute to a beautiful lady, so sorry for your loss.. I know how this feels I’m currently living in continuous pain can’t get to pain clinic for 2 years as there is a backlog since Covid.. Behçet’s disease is an awful thing to live with.. I’m struggling with it so much. This video is beautiful thank you for sharing ❤

This is how it feels when someone goes that was loved by you. This is how I felt when the only one man that truly loved me died

IT'S AN IRONIC POEM!!!!

🙏🙏🙏

I dint know how my sister read it at our dads funeral. He wanted it read but man it was hard

Its rly a lonely journey😢and not ending i am trying my best to life with it

When reciting this poem I always seem to enter a Scottish accent or a churchillian tone .

Well done video! This project deserves the classy treatment of the book trailer.

Bad smell in mouth nd viginal??? Pls tell me I am pregnant nd also i have this type of symptoms

I just came back to this-did not try to-but it happened. Thank you, David Bannon-you have been a source of knowing for me. Terri

Oh Yes. Thank you for this-how simple, how sweet, how true, how.....ts

Seeing and hearing this again-sometime later-and yet...still missing-as if I expected something else...grief is the stranger thing...Terri, Jenna's Mother

Thank you, David, for the moments you took to write me and the blessing that was given to you by a true friend that you shared with me. I lost my daughter, Jenna Rose. I just want to tell you that I've not forgotten you, what you went through and what you said. I have much more work to do. Am changing Dr's.-this one did me no favors. Sent me to a unenlightened therapist, although I tried. Put me on some anti-depressants-2 months or less after Jenna died, so "That I would stop crying." Well, it stop[ped-she kept raising the dose. I lost what filters I had gained in life. So I finally took myself off of it-I am not against that type of help-just not in that dosage and the idea of "needing to stop crying" was too hard for me to understand at the moment and protect myself! So, I have also been "diagnosed" with at least 2 new illnesses-and it is painful and debilitating. I am working through that on my own, finding other Dr's. but am mostly bed ridden and have been-for the time being anyway. I feel better off the large-dose anti-depressant-I was in no way suicidal, ever- and will also feel better when I can completely extricate myself from this Dr. and get a new primary care person-one who doesn't do that and who also doesn't miss health problems and then freak out and treat me very poorly to get me to leave-just talk to me-but I suppose they are all afraid of what patients might try to do legally-though I have never been like that, ever. The Dr. ha created a lot of harm to me. And has injured me with words as well as not being thorough with my medical records. But they are everywhere and I thank God when I finally find a good one-with ethics and smarts and professionalism and compassion. I'm up with one specialist-and am going from there. I just felt like writing-the holidays, obviously. I do hope this finds you moving along at your own helpful pace and that you and yours have managed to stay well. Thank you again. ts

😢

After the tsunami I went to Otsuchi as a humanitarian worker but I only found out about this years later. Hopefully I can return again someday. 🙏

I miss her

I’m not crying….. YOU’RE crying !!!

I have to read this poem at a funeral on Saturday. I thought Tom would be a good teacher.

I do hope W H Auden doesn't mind me rehashing his words... Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message Our Queen Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. She was our North, our South, our East and West, Our working week and our Sunday rest, Our noon, our midnight, our talk, our song; I thought that Our Queen would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. W H Auden

The Queen is dead Long live the King. The Like of her we shall never see agian My Queen My Sovereign RIP

Awful..I think!

Beautiful

Thank you, again, David. I find an understanding in the manner you have approached your own beloved child, My daughter was desperately ill from her early 20's until our final trip to the hospital a few hours away. 2019. Yes, she is missing from me. be well. Terri, Jenna's Mother

This was the poem I had read out at my husbands funeral...

I thought that was James Galway on flute. And to anyone who might read this and think me odd to mention that before this love and dearly paid for poem, I ask you to open your mind's eye to grief, once again, for this is just how I dealt with the loss of my precious daughter, at this moment-didn't know I was going to do that-I just did. blessings, Terri---Jenna's Mother

Seems as though this is true National Treasure. I read below where in the USA there are "wind phones" also. Isn't it a worldwide need? Blessings. Terri

This rings true. And they are good, the singer and the musician, too. Rings true.... Terri

Starting with a beautiful picture of a dewy rose- her middle name, as I said before, is Rose. Terri

David Brannon, I was so bowled over by the response you so generously gave that I totally missed the Celtic blessing right in fort of me! Hope you did not think I was just a dolt! That is a beautiful saying and what you have said also touches my heart. I have it copied in a notebook now. Thank you. Blessings, Terri

Thank you. Thank you very much. DB.

Hiddleston is solemn and effective to be sure. And Auden, well, brilliant. Yet John Hannah's recitation of this in Four Weddings and a Funeral grabbed me and never let me go! When my daughter died fairly recently, way too young, of cancer, that was what I turned to0 Hannah's version of Funeral Blue's-and I sent it to my sister, who has not had or wanted kids0though she loves mine0-and it made her understand how I felt! So it helped in that way. It will always be there for me-truly, and it is a poem for the ages but it is regarding the immediate mourning of grief-at a funeral or memorial service, which we could have neither for my girl because her Dad had that very real broken heart syndrome and I had to get him to the hospital in our hometown and had to save his life. Her body was still in the morgue 3 hours away and it was so hard. He was too ill to have it and I had to protect him and take care of him-and her bewildered brother, who was like a terrific twin with her despite the big age difference between them. It is something one never "gets over", rather I believe it is a hard thing that will always be there and we must find a way to live around it, as she would definitely wanted. Sorry, folks, this is what I do. I go a thousand mph or am on STOP! I feel that this too shall pass and change into something different, but not having any kind of a service for her has made a tremendous difference in the way all of us have had to deal with our grief and C-PTSD, etc. from her loss. Beautiful inside and out and an artist and animal lover and kind, funny, smart, and true. Very true- knew herself! My joy, my heart, the one I got to spend the ,most time with . Thanks for indulging me. Best to ALL!

thank you ❤

This song goes straight to your soul.
