Therefore 'wry'. 'laboured' conveys that both the poet and her mother were struggling, trying to cope with their loss. Yet, both realised that the loss was final and they had to accept it, therefore 'ease'. 'laboured ease of loss' is an oxymoron, a poetic device where two opposites are used together.
Answer:
Laboured ease of loss - The sense of nostalgia is the poem's main theme. It is extremely skillfully depicted in the poem.
Explanation:
The oxymoron "laboured ease of loss" relates to accepting loss and learning to live with it. In the poem, the poet's mother describes how she lost her youth and learned to live with it.
However, the poet also loses her mother and has developed coping mechanisms.
Even if it takes a lot of work, we must ultimately accept and live with reality.
The poet also loses because of this. It's possible that she won't ever again laugh or see her happy face. The paradox of their predicament is that they both find it difficult to accept the loss amicably.
