Waiting on shore
In years past, many of the Rosses Point men went to sea – it was their life and livelihood. Fathers and uncles already at sea, found jobs for sons and nephews. Young lads from 14 years of age joined ships in the Merchant Navy to sail the seas, learn their trade and bring money home. Lads who were on the threshold of life, proud to be counted among the strong men of the village, suffered homesickness, sea-sickness, cold, wet, heat and hard work, but remained firmly set on a way of life that would always be as unpredictable, as cruel, as exciting and ultimately as hypnotic as the sea itself. The men sailed away and left mothers, wives, sisters and daughters, who in their turn and in their way, became victims of the sea.
Lives were marked by leavings and homecomings. Leavings were lonesome – home comings were celebration and in between was the waiting. Storms at sea, delays in ports and poor communication left these women always waiting.

However, there must be time to mourn the fact that things will never be the same. One minute he was here and now he is gone. The human mind must be allowed to sit with this reality. Mourning is a necessary part of the human experience. If it is ignored, a general feeling of sadness may pervade the whole family. " unknown
