Daughter Death Poem

In memory of my beautifull daughter Toyah Marie Main, also her dad and her beloved Paul

Memories

© Dawn Main
A year has passed since you left us
A year of sadness and pain
A year of wishing we had the chance to bring us all back together again

They say time is a healer
In time the pain becomes easier to bear
But the pain we feel in our hearts is still, and always will be there

Your up in heaven now
Up there with your dad and Paul
Up with the angels
Away from it all

You left us your ray of sunshine
A little one to have and hold
A beautiful girl called Tierney
With hair so soft and gold
Your face we see in her daily
A reminder of how beautiful you were
Her smile her warmth her charisma
Is everything of you we see in her

  • My baby girl was 18 when she died in a car accident. Her name was Amy Sue McKay Walker, she also had a daughter when she died. Amy was our only daughter and the baby of my family, she died on March 2nd on a Saturday in the morning of 2002. The pain never goes away and there is never a day I don't want to put my arms around her just one more time. I wrote a song about her if anyone would like to see the words.

  • Kristy was 20 when she was killed in a car accident June 3, 2005. Like some of you, she left me a little angel here on heaven. Chase was 8 months when his "other" mommy died. That is what he calls her now. I have never quit missing her, and the pain is with me daily. I have to keep going every day because I am now mommy to Chase. The pain of losing my little girl never leaves, and the joy of raising Chase never leaves so it is bittersweet. I will be at his Kindergarten graduation in a few weeks, and will be grieving because Kristy isn't on earth to celebrate with me, but rejoicing because I am here to celebrate with Chase. Martha, I would love to hear your song.

  • This poem warms my heart because, I lost my daughter 1 year, 2 months, 15 days. Her name was Ashleigh, she was 16 years old and passed suddenly in her sleep. She was four years in remission and the doctor's could only tell us that she came into contact with an infection. She was 9 years old when she was diagnosed with T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, at 12 she had a cord-blood transplant, at 16 she was in remission for four years and enrolled in an early-college program. She would be graduating this year with an AAS and wanted to become a Nurse. It hurts to know that her little sister, Baleigh who is now 3, will never know her older sister but takes my breath away when she closely resembles her. The pain still remains but I know she is in a better place surrounded by family and friends. I love your poem.

  • This poem touched me because I lost my daughter two years ago her name was Taleicia Williams she was 11. She passed from the h1n1 shot. There's not a day that goes by that I wish I had more time with her. There was so much we were going to do together. Now she's gone, I lost a part of me that will never be healed

  • I lost my daughter Melissa, age 32 years in Feb this year. She left behind my grandbaby Davin who is 3 years old. Every night, he says goodnight Mommy in Heaven. I know what you are all going through. The pain is unbearable, but you have to smile and carry on for the little ones. You have to have turkey on thanksgiving, you must get that Christmas tree. It's so, so very hard. I will never, ever get over losing my Melis, ever but I have her son to love. She left me a part of herself, thanks be to God for that. RIP My darling daughter. I love you.

  • Our beautiful daughter Emma passed away on the 8th of November 2011. Her first birthday away from home is coming up on the 15th of April she would have been 33 years old. Emma suffered so much in 4 years she had ovarian cancer but she never complained and always had the most beautiful of smiles on her face. We miss her so much and feel our hearts will hurt forever but we know that one day we will all be together again. I know her grandad will be looking after her.

  • We lost our 15 year old daughter, Britney, to suicide, on November 28th 2011. You always hear stories but never think that it could happen to your family. I think about her everyday and how her life was just beginning and how much she missed out on. It bothers me that as I look back, the signs were there but we missed them. The only advice I would give to anyone with children..listen..they have a lot to say and maybe they don't exactly know how to say it, but just be for them.

  • I am touched by many of the poems on this site. I lost my oldest daughter at age 3. Tomorrow is the 26th anniversary of the worst day of my life. Everyone told me time will heal the pain, but it doesn't. The pain is always there, Just got to learn to deal with it and go on. Leanna suffered from cystic fibrosis. I been blessed with 6 more healthy children but doesn't make the pain in my heart and life any better. They did keep me strong to go on. I can honestly say I have cried tears everyday for the last 26 years. Sometimes it helps to get through the day when you talk to someone who understands and feels what you are feeling from your loss.

  • I was 15 when I lost my daughter she was only a year old. It's hard to cope when all you think about is what if and it puts me through pain to wonder what actually happened my daughter was called Charlene and how I get by is I talk to my friends and teachers who are very supportive and I can trust.

  • Three months ago my beautiful 24 year old daughter passed away in a horrible car accident. She was the passenger and was ejected out the car. Today, I face my fears and pain along side her beautiful 5 year old daughter Shaki. I'm blessed for so many reasons but most of all that I have my granddaughter who reminds me of my daughter every second of the day.
