All I Know Is...

© Tina Pielstick
All I know is.... I will always miss my Nick and long for him.
All I know is.... one minute I'm together and the next I'm falling apart.
All I know is.... my heart hurts all the time and it has never felt whole since the day he died.
All I know is.... the tears won't stop filling up my eyes, soaking my pillows or staining my face.
All I know is.... I "Really Really" miss him.
All I know is.....it hurts ALL the time.
All I know is.....I want him back.
All I know is.....sometimes I want him so badly, that I want to go to him.
All I know is.... there is no greater ache in this world than my child dying.
All I know is.....I love him, even in death, I love him so much.

  • WOW, I read the poem I wrote to my Son Nicholas who died 10/23/08, and I realize I wrote this poem just 4 days shy of his 1 year Angelversary!!! And when I read it just now I CRIED MY EYES OUT AGAIN!!!! It is a very touching poem and I almost can't believe I wrote that, had I not lived the pain and the reality of his death, I never could have written such words, unfortunately....I am STILL living it....BUT, I'm still living!!!! Peace to you 2011, Tina~

  • How this poem touches my heart. I lost my son Mike on Dec 28 2010 in an avalanche while he was snowmobiling with his dad and other family members. I miss him so much and am just looking for words from others that have lost a love one, that can maybe somehow help my hurting.

  • I have just read this poem and it really puts into words everything I am feeling after the loss of my son 6 months ago. Does the ache every go away? And will the tears every stop?
    Part of me hopes it never will. I too find comfort in expressing my feelings in poems, and I have put mine on this website as well.

  • On October 11 of 2011 my Jonathan killed himself with a shotgun to the head. That day I die with him. I miss him so much it hurts, no one can understand the pain and the why's that we have, why why why. just rattles in my brain. I now long for him and I want to see him every where. I look for him in the clouds I look for him on other kids that reminds me of him. What can I do to keep going and live with less pain?

  • I have been reading all these stories trying to see if there really is a time when someone heals from a loss as great as this but by the sounds of it you just do not!!! I lost my beautiful 23 year old son on the 18th January 2012 and every single minute of every single day I just keep thinking of him and missing him and yearning for him and I really cannot see beyond tomorrow. How do I carry on?? When will this pain end??? I could not have put the words on this poem any better .......it is exactly how I feel!!! Will the tears ever stop??? Will the pain ever ease???? How do I carry on???

  • My Son Andrew died April 23, 2012, he was 49. He died of liver failure. He was so loved by so many people, he touched so many hearts, always trying to make people happy. I can't see my life without him. The pain is so hard to take, I don't think I'm going to survive without him. I have a Daughter and another Son that love me and are worried about me getting sick. I tell them everyday I will do the best I can for them. I don't know how to live now that my Son is gone..

  • I lost my son in law May 10, 2012- 12:30 noon in front of a camera at the cafe in NY while he drank coffee. His partner, with no history of violence, shot and killed my 31 year old son in law. The pain is unbearable. Not a day or a minute go by without thoughts of this senseless murder.

  • My wonderful 24 year old son took his life and left me on March 27, 2012. I loved this poem it says exactly how I feel. My son was so wonderful and loving he called me every morning on his way to work, and every evening going home. It's so hard. I still look at the clock and expect his call. I'm so lost without him. My heart hurts so much I don't think it will ever get easier!

  • I lost my son on 11/26/09. His name was also Nicholas. He was 18 years old and a few months. It has been nearly 3 years and it still is so very painful. He died after a fall. I miss him so much. So much sadness.

  • My name is Kristie and my beautiful boy was just killed in a car accident. He was 17 years old and his name was Steven James Hillaire the kindest boy I've you could ever know. He was killed on November, 11, 2012 on the Ave of giants in the redwoods. I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing, he was my reason for living now he is gone. This was gonna be our time, our plans were going to finally be put in motion. We were gonna be partners and come up with something great. I miss him and I want him back

  • On November 25, 2012 an officer came to let us know our son had taken his life. We were looking for him and asked people if they had seen him. This poem says everything I feel. I am tired of being told it will get easier and I need to move on. I can't and I don't know how.

  • My son Nicholas died almost 2 years ago at the age of 21. I miss him so much, I was a single parent and we did so much together. I cry everyday for him, & I am tired of people saying aren't you over him by now. I will never be over losing my son. I loved him and would have traded places with him. He was my only child and I feel the exact same feelings that you have put into this poem. Thank you.

  • I too just lost my son.. On 2-13-13.. He was only 28. May 11,2013 he would be turning 29. It was sudden. I was at work and got the phone call. He went to sleep and never woke up. God sent his angels to get him. He was my first born. He was beautiful inside and out. Always there for me. We talked everyday. My heart hurts every min of everyday. He never got the chance to get married or have children. He had so much life to live. I am so depressed. I think of him and I cry. If I look at a picture of him I cry.. I want him back... I feel so sick everyday, This poem does say it all. My pain just started and I will have it with me all my life.. A mother son is very special... God Bless you all.... I'm sorry for all of you that has lost a child.. So unfair. I don't understand what Gods plans are but I'm trying to trust in him. I'm trying to keep my faith...
