Family Death Poem
One's life can be measured by those he leaves behind.
In Memory
©
Kimberly N. Chastain
A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that youre not in my heart and my soul.
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that youre not in my heart and my soul.

Our Mom passed away on this date 4 years ago and has been missed so much that if this was a paper I was writing on, it would be tear stained with sorrow and love.

*Kekoa Hikialani Roland*
(Hawaiian: Kekoa: The brave one; Hikialani: Looking up to Heaven and Roland: Named after his Grandpa)
The poem was beautiful, but even more so the stories you all have shared. When I lost my infant son May 2011 I thought I was the only one in the world who felt his loss. I thought more than ever it was my fault. He was 8 days old and as his mother I blamed myself. He need surgery at 7 days old, by 5 am the next morning I received the call of my life. As my husband and I went to his bed side, the Dr's turned to us and without any words said it's too late. They stopped pumping on his chest and we let him go in peace. We have 2 daughters both older, now 6 and 3 years old, he was and is now our only son. After he died I got the chance to hold him for the first time. No words can express the loss of a child. Their time should never be before ours.

My step-dad died June 12th 2009,
He died on his way to work one morning at 6 am on his motorbike whilst riding down the dual carriageway near West Bromwich a lady on her phone pulled out in front of him as he went into the back of the right side of the car he flipped on top & died instantly due to head injuries and a broken spine.
My dad was a smiler no matter what he would be smiling,
He wore his heart on his shirt, he was the best man anyone would/could have ever known.
This poem states exactly how I feel about his death and explains what he was like
I miss him lots and it seems to get harder and harder as the years are going by xx

Darling Mane, One month is gone I still can't believe you are gone. My son misses you so much. You were his HERO. To your friends you were a LEGEND. To your mother you were HER WHOLE LIFE. Why Mane, why did you have to go so soon? Just 28 years, handsome young man.
May be the Devas think this world is not a place for you to live because you are one in a trillion. I am so sorry I have millions of things to write about you but this space doesn't allow me to do so. May you attain supreme bliss of nirvana.
