A tragic loss, the pain of separation is overwhelming

The Loss Of A Cousin

My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see
But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me
I’m glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand
I lie in bed and cry at night
And I don’t feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss him forever
Until the day we are again together.
Together in that perfect place above,
Filled with caring, sharing and love
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away.
And hopefully see him again someday

I lost my cousin in an accident 3 years ago. She was only 19 and was killed by a drunk driver. She was my best friend, my everything, my hope for survival. or so I thought. When I lost her, it was like loosing everything. It was the hardest thing I've ever experienced. It has been 3 years now, and I am doing great. What keeps me going is the fact that she was such a bubbly and happy person. She'd want me to be happy. I smile because I know she's smiling down at me! =]

Thank you for writing such a beautiful poem. I lost my cousin Ryan 17 days ago in a one person car accident. I spoke to him the night that he died. He had asked me to go out with him but I couldn't I had been sick and I told him that I could next weekend. You play the "IF ONLY'S" a billion times but it doesn't change anything. Just makes you more frustrated with the truth. He was like the brother I never had. He was always so helpful to me and to our family. We are all so lost now with out him here.

thank you for this poem. I lost my cousin in a car accident nearly two years ago. I still think of him every day. what gets me through it is knowing he's looking over us and watching out for us!

This poem really touched my heart.
I have a three year old cousin who had an asthma attack last week and went straight into a coma. His brain cells were messed up and he wasn't getting enough oxygen at all. Tuesday March 16, 2009 he died. He wasn't breathing on his own and his heart had stopped. But now I know he is in a better place.

Thank you - it describe my exact feelings. I loss my son on December 23, 2008. He was killed in an ATV accident at the age of 24. The pain I feel will probably never go away. Your poem is beautiful.

This poem touched me. My cousin died 5 months ago in a car accident.. He fell asleep. He flew out of his car and all his head bones broke. He died and he just turned 20. I think this poem really relates to me. This poem just brought memories. I loved it.

This poem says EVERYTHING that I feel about losing my cousin. It sent chills down my spine reading it. Andy was 19 yrs old when he was killed in a car accident in 1997. The pain never goes away and I miss him even more now. I know he is with me every step I take and that makes me feel a little better. He will always be my favorite cousin!
I miss you Andy!!!

Thank you for this beautiful poem my three year old baby cousin died on Friday and I still cannot believe it. he was a healthy child but developed pneumonia and when everyone thought he would get better he suddenly started going downhill he had trouble breathing and his little heart stopped beating. You are with the angels now sweetheart, you will always be loved and never forgotten xxxxxxxx

I think this is an awesome poem. I love it because it really describes how I feel about my cousin's death. He died about a year and 3/4 ago. He was 16 years old and he was shot 13 times. It broke my heart when I found out and it still kills me everytime I think of him. It hit me really hard too because I was young when he died and I didn't think that that would ever happen to someone in my family. So thank you for writing this poem, and again it's amazing.

Jessica Juan Posted on Wednesday, September 16, 2009

This poem is very touching. my eyes teared up as I read it. My younger cousin Robert passed away recently. He was just 21 years old. Although I am very sad about his death I can also smile because I know that is just one more angel I have looking over me =) so my heart truly goes out to everyone who has lost a family remember. The pain never really goes away, but some how you learn to deal with it one day at a time. I love you Robert rest in peace dear cousin.
