GRIEF Poem: Dead moms club, by Alexandra Bradley

Dead mom club means having the best comeback for your mom jokes
when someone else says their mom died
saying me too and giving a crisp high-five
It means when you hear “everything happens for a reason”
“you deserve to swift punch the person in the throat “
That even in this poem I’m quoting you

Dead Moms Club where most will enter and few want to be a part of.
We do not discriminate on race gender or age
Anyone can join the club
Entrie comes at quite a hefty cost
Were exclusive like that

Dead Moms Club feeling as if you are losing yourself
You’re not in it till you’re in it
Having to comfort others when telling of your loss
Wanting to turn away members
Not wanting them to feel the same pain

Dead moms club
I wish I was never initiated
