Grandmother Death Poem

A tribute to a grandmother who has passed away. She was the strength of the family, and will always be remembered for her kind and loving ways.

Grandma

© Augustine Perez
Thank you for the gift of love,
now you're sharing it up above.
You had many things to say.
All in a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone,
No matter what they've done.
You were always the one we could all lean on.
Even though it must have felt like a ton.
You were always the strength of the family.
Now we must let you rest calmly.
As we say goodbye,
as tears roll down our eyes.
I know your place in heaven has a good view.
Because you're telling God,
I need to keep an eye on a few.
I know you will always be in our hearts and mind.
So Grandma,
I must go, but I'll never forget you're one of a kind.

  • I just lost my grandmother a month ago and it still feels like it was yesterday. I spent the last year taking care of her and she became my best friend, losing her was something I wasn't ready for, I don't think anyone is, but your poem has touched my heart.

  • Grandma I miss you with all my heart, I wish that we weren't a part... I miss the way you'd pat my back and rub my face with each embrace... I miss hugging you and squeezing your belly, how I loved laying across it.. I wish I had one more day with you, to hold you again before having to let you go... I hope you know how much I love you and I'm still gonna take that walk with you hand and hand, so wait for me.. when my time does come we'll look for each other in gods kingdom.

  • My beautiful grandmother passed away two weeks ago. Reading this made me realize how much I miss her. There is so much that I wanted her to see, experience and share in with me. She raised me, it feels like her death has taken a part of me with her. I know she's in a better place but life without her is hard due her physical absence. Love you so much Koko.

  • My loving grandma passed away on the 27 of December. Two days after Christmas. She died from lung cancer (stage 4).
    I never realized it at the time that she was going to a better place until I read this poem ! She won't have to suffer anymore and she will be with our creator God. She won't just be looking over me but also my family.
    It will be hard spending the rest of my life without her but I know I will get to see her again someday. I love you much Nanny Louise.

  • I have always have and always will love my grandma. The 1st time she went into the hospital, her stomach hurt. She came back. She went to the hospital again. She found out she had ovarian cancer. She came home. She went back again. She went into the E.R. That very night we were going to sleep at the hospital. We didn't. The next day, we went to our local swap-meet. We got a call from my uncle. She isn't going to make it. that very minute my dad called my brother. That day on September 21 at 2:02 pm. She walked with Jesus at the gates of Heaven. We went to her appt. to clean it out. My used to be "uncle", hocked all of her jewelry. she had thousands of dollars worth of jewelry. I wish she was still here. May you rest in peace Grandma Leonda Cook. :(..

  • My grandma passed away on April 17, 2012. That was on my father's birthday. It was a real shock.
    I want to say that who ever still has a grandma is really lucky because you never know how she is really special to you until you never see her again. Really thanks for who wrote this poem. I hope that my story helps girls my age know how much having a grandma is important in our lives.

  • Yes, this poem was indeed helpful. I saw the picture of my grandma in the poem and that gave me the courage to say to myself that mama is right there in heaven where she could express more of her love to us her children. Thanks so much for your consoling words.
