Hi, my name is Maria Teresa Pratico aka Ladysag77. I write poetry to help me process my feelings and emotions. I am an intuitive empath and a woman living with Complex PTSD. I have survived many life circumstances that threatened to take me out and dim my light completely. Having always had a fierce curiosity for the human condition and humanity in general, I write to share hope and faith while inspiring others to live my motto of “Triumphing over Trauma”
My blog can be found at https://www.emotionalmusings.com and I have 2 IG profiles that are @Ladysag77 and @emotionalmusings______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you again for sharing my poetry my friend!! This particular poem is very personal. It’s inspired by my fiance who is an ex professional football player and Superbowl Champion. He struggles with concussion syndrome ,schizophroaffective bipolar disorder, PTSD and early onset Dementia at just 50 years old. We have been together for almost 7 years, the last 3 have been so painful to watch. There is no cure, we are trying to just slow down the progression.
I performed this for a poetry slam, my 2nd ever a week ago. The video of it is on my blog at https://www.emotionalmusings.com
Thank you so much for your kindness and support ❤🙏😊
It’s never easy… thank you for sharing
This poem has struck the emotional chords! ❤
Best friends are harder to let go of then to find… Sad but true…
Love how you penned the sweet grief of friendship in this poem!
