An extremely impressive poem, the two deaths are too painful for a woman, first the death of her husband and second the death of her son. I have seen many women praying to die before these two deaths. You have proficiently described the pains of an old widow. I congratulate you for this great poem.
A very poignant and thoughtful write. Grief never really thaws out it just melts away very slowly and therefore the mind is never free. The aged are especially vulnerable to this sad event that must eventually happen to all. Thanks for sharing this one from he heart..

A very poignant and moving narration. This is the fate of very many elders in our society especially because of insensitive wielders of political power who are more concerned with filling their coffers than creating a socially caring infrastructure.
A precise series subtle observation composed with gentle care, for we can only imagine the weight that others carry, sorrows and losses. The palpable aesthetic of the 6th verse was outstanding.
a real story portrayed in a very touchy manner...loved the style of writing
Those who die sleep for ever. Those who live must keep awake. Reality is expressed in moving words.
Moving, really moving. A sad story reaching so deep Very well written.
