My Immortal

This song is beautiful, yet very disturbing to me because it is about a mother lamenting the death of her child. I am so blessed that I have not experienced this kind of loss, but it is every mother’s fear, and it is awful beyond anything I can comprehend.
Although the child is physically gone, her maternal love is immortal. When her child was alive, she could comfort him when he was afraid, but now she is left alone, and
she is the one in need of comfort. His presence that once brought her joy now haunts her,
and she is comforted but tortured by the feeling that he is still with her. Her wounds won’t seem to heal, because the loss of a child is pain that never heals, not even time can erase it.
