Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, 'Til Then, is a remarkable response to this devastating news of Nolan's wife's death. It can mostly be compared with losing a parent, I guess, but married couples are even closer. We are here and then gone. So much to accept.

Thank you, Bill!
I'm sending every star to Yvonne! It's so difficult to find the words to bring solace...
We can only try!

I love the way you pick up on Yvonne's sleep in your sweet verse as the angels took her so peacefully, ever bound to Nomi in his heart. I have this lovely image which I hope Nomi will too so that he may feel some comfort and strength during this difficult time. Thanks for sharing, Karenina.Take care Debbie

Oh, Debbie. It's always so hard and we always want just one more day, don't we? I took some solace that Yvonne passed in her sleep and I pray that Nomi will as well. Thanks so much, my dear friend.

Excellent words to console Nomi after the passing of his wife. "I slumbered in love" is a beautiful line that captures a good feeling in your words. You have a smooth poetic flow of words and lines that speak to the reader.

Bless him as he goes through this period of grief. I hope many contribute to his book so he can reap comfort from the posts when things have settled down a bit.
Thank you,

Comment from Begin Again
The poems that everyone has been writing are so heartfelt and full of love. Though in pain, Nomi will feel that everyone believes that their love is precious and that they want to lift his love to her with their prayers and words of poetry. I can not do the same, but I can send my prayers. I feel his pain and grief and hope that he can find the strength until they meet again.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Thank you for your prayers, Carol. You know the pain of losing a spouse. Every kind word helps!

It most definitely does. Having friends gather around you always helps. I didn't have that and I think that's why it took me so long to be able to stand on my feet again. I hope all the poems and prayers are beneficial to him as he tries to focus on another day, one at a time, without her physically by his side. she'll always be there but it takes a while to know that.
Love ya, Carol

It truly is one baby step at a time. Fifty-One years! That was a blessing!

Hi Karenina!
I love this effort for Nomi's loss. I have not met him yet, but I have read Debi's tribute to him. It's so awesome that you guys do this for other members, because a loss of this magnitude cannot have too much support.
---"No sound did I hear,/I slumbered in love." -- This was my favorite line-pair. It plucks the strings of the heart, for it goes right to the moment and circumstances of her death and Nomi's status of being "in love with her" in the same moment.
---"Shine bright as a star,/my darling, til then." --This one was a close second. Lovely imagery.
Well done as a poet. Well done as a friend. Well done as a compassionate human being.

Please don't ever leave. I've come to look forward to your reviews with great anticipation. Nomi is truly a gentle, kind, generous man who clings to his faith.
There is some solace in Yvonne passing peacefully in her sleep.
You are a part of the FanStory family now.
How lovely it would be for Nomi to hear from you!
Many Thanks,
Karenina

One person's death ripples through time and affects us all.
