It is to acknowledge that although yes, life goes on, there must be a pause when it has ended. What a beautiful poem. I cannot imagine what Jack's other grandma must be going through. Absolute hell, I would guess. <br />Meanwhile, your job is clear and concise and you have named it- keeping and making Jack feel safe. <br />Bless you and bless all of you.
