Their Sweethearts and Their Darlings
By Mary Jane Hurley Brant
In Honor of
Mothers Finding Meaning Again
Nov. 28, 2019
The moon sighed
The day they died
Their sweethearts
And their darlings
The breezes fair
Mothers touched their hair
Their sweethearts
And their darlings
Their looks forlorn
For loved children born
Their sweethearts
And their darlings
Their heads swaying low
hearts sad to know
Their sweethearts
And their darlings
Their lives ahead
Briskly changed instead
For their sweethearts
And their darlings
No one to know
Secrets never to show
Their sweethearts
And their darlings
All the days to remember
From the crib to last ember
Their sweethearts
And their darlings

From Mary Jane’s website:
“I have specialized in grief and loss and serious illness – particularly after the death of my precious daughter, Katie, to a brain tumor. My work is with individuals, couples and religious communities. I run groups on specific topics. In March, 2009, I founded and have facilitated a free-of-charge group for bereaved mothers who have lost children. It’s called “Mothers Finding Meaning Again.” There is more information about these courageous women on this site under groups.
I am pleased to have been chosen as a member of The Partners in MS Care. This program recognizes and supports quality Multiple Sclerosis care. The program involves health care professionals in the areas of neurology, mental health and rehabilitation, as well as links to sites that provide multi-disciplinary and comprehensive MS care. Health care professionals recognized as Partners in MS Care demonstrate knowledge and experience in treating chronic illness and engage in communication with other healthcare providers treating the MS patient. We have a special interest in treating people, spouses and families living with Multiple Sclerosis. Partners in MS Care has a strong collaborative relationship and works closely with the National MS Society to access a full array of medical, psycho-social and rehabilitation services delivered in a coordinated fashion where providers share common goals for patient outcomes.”
