Melda's response to Lena Redding "Bad Dream"

This poem is about someone who has lost someone dear to them due to a disease and how painful it is to say goodbye.
I like how realistic the poem is. You describe the pain of losing someone close to you pretty well. Also, I love the line, "Memories of him hit me like a huge waterfall." It is very powerful to imagine how these emotions feel as a waterfall. On the other hand, it is not clear whether or not you are talking about a former lover or someone else that is close to you. I am curious as to who this poem is about and how the two characters are related. I would have loved if that was clear.
