Aunt Death Poem

A woman mourns the death of her aunt.

My Aunt Jean

© Joan C. Johnson
I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
I just keep wishing you were still here.
I will hold all the memories deep in my heart.
Through these memories will never part.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
I just keep wishing this pain would disappear.
I didn’t get the chance to say my last good-bye.
I just didn’t think you could ever die.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
All of your love I will always hold near.
In my heart and my mind I will never be alone.
When my time comes......
I will meet you in heaven!
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!

  • My Great-Aunt passed away on Mother's Day of 2007. The second verse especially hit home with me because I didn't get to say goodbye to my "Aunt Jean" and I really thought that she would never die.

  • My Aunt passed away from a long courageous battle with cancer. She passed on my 34th birthday, a few days ago. It is so hard to say goodbye. I don't know how long it will take for this pain to go away. I know now she is in a better place and free for pain. She will be missed by so many people as she had touched so many peoples lives. Auntie Kim, if you are looking down from heaven above, please know that I love you and miss you so very much. Rest in peace......

  • My Auntie Carrie passed away this morning, I as well did not get a chance to say good-bye. My Auntie Carrie raised me. I also did not think she could ever die, She was a very strong person who was always there when anyone needed her.

  • My Auntie died just over 4 years ago now and today would've been her 48th birthday! The second verse hit home as I never got to say good-bye since she was killed in a car accident. I knew she would die one day, just didn't think it would be when I was only 17. I'm so glad there are other people out there that feel the way about their aunts like I did and still do about my Auntie.

  • My aunt died two days ago from a heart attack in her sleep. She was in her late 60's, but I am still very much in shock. This poem inspired me to write my own poem about my experience with her and my emotions now. I feel like you knew your aunt much better than I knew mine, and that is something I've always regretted; not knowing her better. Now there's no time left to remedy that.

  • My aunt who raised me like one of her own (because my mother had two jobs to support all of us) passed away, she was only 46, had heart problems since she was a teenager and passed away from diabetes 2 months after my 15th birthday. No one knew she had it... I'm 24 now, happily married, but not a day goes by that she's not needed, and not a day goes by without me wishing she was here being part of all our happiness, luckily I have my mother with me, but we both miss her dearly, she was a great person, my mothers best friend and just a joy to be around, she'll always be missed. She'll always be a mother to me, now she's in a better place watching over us.

  • Well here I am again, I just lost my Auntie Sharlene Lurati on March 27,2012 and now have lost my Auntie Dianne Severson (her sister) on April 14,2012, 18 days later. She was 63. Both of these deaths were unexpected. Both of these women were a tremendous influence in my life. They showed great love, independence and wisdom. It is difficult to lose an Auntie, it is more difficult to lose both Aunties with-in the same two weeks. We don't know why Auntie Dianne died, I think her heart was broken. I can only imagine, the loss of a sister may be greater than the loss of an Aunt.

  • My aunt passed away on the 21st of august 2010. She was my dad's youngest sister. She left behind two young son who were only 5 and 1 when she died. She was like a mother to me and everyday I miss her and think about her. It is through her death that I know what ''death'' really means. She was hit by a bike and she died on the spot. I had so much to say to her and now I just regret for delaying the time. I'll always love her forever and ever and I'll always miss her until I see her again. I Love You aunt Amida!!! Always have and always will!!!!!!

  • My Aunty Jean passed away on the 3rd of November 2011 from cancer. I miss her a lot, as she took over being my other parent when my dad left 13 years ago. I had to make the hard choice of letting her go but I know it was right to stop her from being in any more pain. This poem has really touched me. Thank you for writing it
