-Gabriella's POV:-
"We are gathered here to say farewell to Aubrey Fenton and to commit her into the hands of our Lord. Lord our God, you are the source of life. In you we live and move and have our being. Keep us in life and death in your love, and, by you grace, lead us to your kingdom, through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord."In the Name of God, the merciful Father, we commit the body of Aubrey to the peace of the grave."
Silently, I watch the priest gesture the holy cross before throwing three handfuls of earth down on to my mother's coffin.
Silent tears fall from my eyes as I curl into Jakes side more.
This is it.
The last time I see her.
The last time I'll be physically with her.
"You gave her life. Receive her in your peace and give her, through Jesus Christ, a joyful resurrection"
Will I ever be able to see her ever again after today?
"Lord God, our Father in heaven, Lord God, the Son, and Saviour of the world, Lord God, the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. At the moment of death, and on the last day, save us, merciful and gracious Lord God."
Mama...
"Let us now listen to the words of Holy Scripture that assures us of God's safe-keeping in life and death."
I feel myself zone out...
The priest is talking but all I see is mama's coffin...
Brown with the cross imprinted into it in the middle.
This will be the last time I ever see her...
I won't be able to ever speak to her again...
Feeling the tears stream down my face, I let out a small whimper as I see them begin to lower her into the grave.
Squeezing onto Jakes shirt I whimper in his chest as I feel him rub my back in comfort.
She's going...
She's leaving me...
"MAMA!" I scream when I can no longer see her coffin.
Jake holds me back and I thrash and scream in his hold.
"MAMA! DON'T LEAVE ME! MAMA PLEASE! MAMA I NEED YOU!"
Breaking down in Jakes arms, I sob and scream.
"Give her, o Lord, your peace and let your eternal and light shine upon her. Let us go in the peace of the Lord"
No.
No!
"MAMA! MAMA COME BACK!"
"Gabby! Calm yourself princess! Please!"
"MAMA!" I scream.
In hopes of her coming back.
In hopes of this all being a dream.
"MAMA!"
The priest turns back to us and whilst looking at us, he recites his final words.
Please no.
NO!
"Receive the Lord's blessing. The Lord bless you and watch over you. The Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The Lord look kindly on you and give you peace; In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"
They proceed with the burial.
Slowly filling her grave up with the earth, I scream.
"MAMA!"
