sense of paralysis
gaps in comprehension
rapid heartbeat
dryness in the throat
the mouth as well
eyes flashing
one memory after another
gasping for air
as if stabs here and there
could never say goodbye

I’m so sorry Hulya, I think my moments got mixed up! Yours got poted somewhere else – cant remember now!
Just want to say tht this struck a chord…a powerful description of grief if ever there was one!
