Mourning Poem Healing After Loss

Analysis of Form and Technique

Tell me it's okay
To just want to cry.
Tell me it's okay
To never say goodbye.

Tell me it's okay
To just want to cry.
Tell me it's okay
To never say goodbye.

Tell me it's okay
To be afraid to be strong.
Tell me it's okay
And that you're comin' along.

Tell me it's okay
And that you're staying by me.
Tell me it's okay,
And that this life is meant to be.

Tell me it's okay
To feel how I'm feeling.

The way that I am dealing.

Tell me it's okay -

Even if I fall.

Tell me it's okay
To lose control today.
Tell me it's okay.
Just tell me it's okay.

42. Absent From The Body
- By Lenora McWhorter
- Published: July 2020
We'll Always Remember You

in In Memory Poems

You have served your time
and lived out your days.
You have now made the move
from your house of clay.

You have served your time
and lived out your days.
You have now made the move
from your house of clay.

You went on ahead of us,
as you answered the call.
We, too, must take our leave,
not just some of us, but all.

We can no longer see you,
but we can feel you near.
You are hidden in our hearts,
and we'll always hold you dear.

We can no longer hear you,
but we will keep you close.
The memories of you are many,
and the love will not grow old.

We can no longer touch you,
but thoughts of you remain.
We remember your kindness
and the love we exchanged.

You are absent from the body;
it has now returned to the dust.
But your spirit lives on
and will reunite with us.

43. I'm Sorry Mom
- By Zonda Davis
- Published: June 2008
Message From Son In Heaven

in Son Death Poems

I'm sorry mom, for the things I put you through
I'm sorry mom, for not doing the things you wanted me to do
I'm sorry mom, for leaving you so soon
I'm sorry mom, for that call you got that afternoon

I'm sorry mom, for the things I put you through
I'm sorry mom, for not doing the things you wanted me to do
I'm sorry mom, for leaving you so soon
I'm sorry mom, for that call you got that afternoon
Leaving you was, the last thought on mind
Just like so many, I guess it was just my time

I thought about you, the last minutes of my life
I thought about my son and I even thought about my wife
But momma I can imagine, how this must be for you
Because I see you, when you are alone
When nobody else does

I don't want you to feel so much pain
There's really no one to blame
Tell dad to stop grieving
I see his pain as well

I almost didn't make it in
Ya'll know the life I live
But I had a second chance
And the Lord heard my prayer

My life wasn't taking instantly
I had time to repent
I asked the Lord to wash my sins
And show me a better way
He opens up new doors for me
And here is where I stay
So tell everyone who doubted me
I made it anyway

I'm sorry mom for leaving you, without saying goodbye
I'm sorry mom for hurting you, I still see you cry
I'm sorry mom, but be happy, I got my wings it's true
Something no one ever thought,
So the next time I see you crying, it's my wing that will be holding you

I'm so sorry mom, and I will always, always love you.

44. A Call From Heaven
- By Zeb Edington

Poem About Grief Over Losing Someone Very Close

in Grief Poems

I lie awake long into the night,
Hoping that maybe you just might
Give me a call to say you're okay
And let me know you made it through the day.

I lie awake long into the night,
Hoping that maybe you just might
Give me a call to say you're okay
And let me know you made it through the day.

I would give everything that I have
To make you feel not so sad.
I know the pain is sometimes too great,
But the love was something you can never mistake.

I long for the day when I see you again.
Then we can talk about where all we've been.
We can think about all the times we had,
How we've missed each other ever so bad.

I feel like I've been cheated and robbed so blind.
God took you away when I thought you were mine.
Now I'm stuck here and feel so alone
As I sit and wait right beside the phone.

You gave me a life and everything I have.
I couldn't say no, even when I was mad.
You gave me my children that I hold so dear.
You took away everything that I ever feared.

As the hurt seems to fade but the memories are bright,
Maybe I'll see you in a dream tonight.
That's all I can hope for until the day
When were together in heaven for an eternity.

Poem About Wanting Time To Heal Wounds

in Son Death Poems

Time cannot erase the sorrow and pain that I feel,
Nor can it make things better
Or force my heart to heal.

Time cannot erase the sorrow and pain that I feel,
Nor can it make things better
Or force my heart to heal.

Time is now a measure of the days since you've been gone,
Of getting by the best I can,
And trying to be strong.

Time should mend a broken heart.
That's what they say,
But time will never change the fact that you've gone away.

Poem About Memories Of A Loved One

I feel a warmth around me,

we will never be apart.
Even though we cannot speak anymore,
my voice is always there,
because every night before I sleep,
I have you in my prayer.

47. Little Angel Unknown
- By Ronnie Hunter
- Published: August 2008
in Baby Death Poems

A little angel unknown, I am; my place is as an angel in a secret land.
I didn't have a name as such; you didn't get the chance.
I wasn't meant to live on earth, just touch you by the hand.
I've been sent to touch your lives, and I know you'll think that cruel,

A little angel unknown, I am; my place is as an angel in a secret land.
I didn't have a name as such; you didn't get the chance.
I wasn't meant to live on earth, just touch you by the hand.
I've been sent to touch your lives, and I know you'll think that cruel,
but it's only special people that are chosen as exceptions to the rules.
I knew you would love me from the very start,
from that first sighting and beating of my tiny heart,
so I know that it will hurt you that you have to say goodbye,
but I am your guardian angel now, and I'll dry the tears from your eyes.
I'll be there by your side wherever you go.
I will hear you speak of me often and what I might have been if I'd grown.
I'll be the special angel in the picture that you have.
I'll remind you of my brother and my dad.
I'll have your little features all of you as one,
and I'll love you always as my special mum.
You might not have gotten to see me as a living, breathing thing,
but I'll be the ribbon around your heart and my love will be deep within.
This pleasure I promise will be mine,
to be your guardian angel from now until the end of time.
I'll gift you with my presence every night within your dreams,
walk always as your special unknown angel,
gifted to you within just for a short while,
so think of me often and smile.
For I am your very own special unknown gifted child.

All I know is...I will always miss my son and long for him.

I had so many dreams for you
That will now never come true.
I wanted you to have the life I never had,
Where every day was good and not one day was bad.

I had so many dreams for you
That will now never come true.
I wanted you to have the life I never had,
Where every day was good and not one day was bad.
I wanted you to be happy and have a fun-filled life.
I would have loved to see you be someone's wife.
I would have loved to see you do a little ballet twirl.
I wanted you to be the world's happiest little girl.
I wanted to put you on my shoulders as we watched your favourite band.
I wanted to take you to the beach and watch you play in the sand.
These are all things that I most wanted to do;
All I can do now is dream of doing these things with you.
Now all I want is to see your smile
And to hold you close for a little while.
Your mum and I are in so much pain,
Even though we know it won't be long until we see you again.
For now all I can do is hope and pray
That I'll get to hold you in my arms again one day.

Poem For Niece Whose Baby Died

in Baby Death Poems

Heart full of joy and excitement
To meet you face to face.
Months of waiting and anticipating
To give you my soft embrace.

Heart full of joy and excitement
To meet you face to face.
Months of waiting and anticipating
To give you my soft embrace.

Amazed at God's blessed marvel,
I watched in wonder as you grew.
For nine months you were my daily miracle,
Every move I felt, sparked a love so new.

Now my little one lies here with me,
In a deep slumber she'll forever be.
Pretty eyes I'll never be able to see,
Nor hear her voice be filled with glee.

My heart is in grief; it feels so empty.
The reason you're gone is still a mystery.
You are my beautiful little angel.
Most treasured but not meant to be with me.

Rest now, my beautiful little angel...
You are loved and you will be missed.
Forever in our heart is where you'll stay,
Until we see you again someday.

I still feel that you are caring for me from above.
I tell my broken heart that you are still watching me.
My heart longs for your care even from heaven.

My dear son, you are my protector.
I remember you when I feel lonely.
I talk to you when I break into pieces.
My heart longs for your support even from heaven.

My dear son, I was thinking I gave you life.
The reality is that you had given me life.
Without you and your presence, I can't exist.
My heart longs for your company in my heart until I exist.
Please be there in my heart.

52. Four Words

Despair.
falling deeper & deeper each day.
wondering what else I'll lose
and wondering if it'll go away.

Despair.
falling deeper & deeper each day.
wondering what else I'll lose
and wondering if it'll go away.

Denial
It's something I sometimes feel.
that the pain I have inside
could not possibly be real.

Sadness.
Not something that disappears
despite what I wish for
I have never ending tears.

Blame.
That's what I often do
I will never forgive myself.
My heart's permanently broken in two.

These four simple words
to describe my feelings inside.
wishing I could crawl into myself
to stay forever and hide.

There are days I wonder
if these feelings will go.
If it's possible for me
to not feel so low.

To Everyone Who Has Ever Lost A Child

I wonder what color my balloons will be,
but as an Aunt it doesn't matter to me.
It can be many colors, I choose red, green, and yellow,

I wonder what color my balloons will be,
but as an Aunt it doesn't matter to me.
It can be many colors, I choose red, green, and yellow,
I think I will pick a color for a fellow.
I will let that yellow one go to the sky
and it will fly very high
until it reaches heaven for a boy,
and he will be filled with so much joy.
I will keep the other two balloons for his brothers and sisters.
And they will be filled with Jobey's whispers.
Jobey didn't live very long and so
his mother and father had to let him go.
He will always be in our hearts,
He will be forever our special sweetheart.
So anytime you see a balloon float by,
think of that someone you love in the sky.

A Heartfelt Poem For A Grieving Friend

in Grief Poems

I feel your sadness
Oh, how can I take away your tears
You are truly one incredible mother
Who's been through so much in all those years

I feel your sadness
Oh, how can I take away your tears
You are truly one incredible mother
Who's been through so much in all those years

My dearest dearest Lisa
I don't know what to say
Oh, so much tragedy
Has finally come your way

I wish I could take some of your misery
And share part of your deep wrenching pain
I wish that God would somehow reject Dom in heaven
And brings him back to us again

I wish I can just come right over
And tell you that everything is all right
I wish I can just do something, anything
Or just to hold you tight

I know you just want to be alone right now
To try and make sense of what's going on
To try and answer the many 'why' questions
And how to ever move on

I wish you will eventually find some comfort
In knowing that you did your best
But there was nothing that anyone could've done for our little angel
And now he lays to rest

I'm sure he knows how much he was loved by you
He had the best Mummy in the whole wide world
Who would trade her life for him if she could
If only that were possible

I know that no one can take away your suffering
Or even really feel your pain
But I want you to know that I'm here for you
Waiting for you to get back on your feet again

The Void Left By Loved One's Passing

Out there in the Milky Way,
Where a billion stars call home,
When you look really close,
You'll see that each is alone.

Out there in the Milky Way,
Where a billion stars call home,
When you look really close,
You'll see that each is alone.

No one less important
When lighting the evening skies,
Yet very few take notice
When one of them dies.

A black hole is created;
A dark shadow is cast,
And only those who are closest
Fear how long this will last.

The void that has been left there
Seems to draw all within.
Only time has the power to
Help the light shine again.

Our son isn't home, where could he be?
It's after midnight, and the doorbell rings.
Who could be calling, he has a key.
A man in uniform, we see him through the glass.
"Do you have a son named Philip?" he asks.

With those few words our lives forever change.
We will never be the family we were, ever again.
Almost eighteen, in the prime of his life.
A careless driver has ended what should have been
a life full of promise, of hopes and of dreams.

Our lives must go on, what else can we do?
We know our faith in God will see us through.
He spoke to my heart, my soul and my mind.
"My precious child, He has been with me
since the moment he died."

A Mother's Grief For Her Child

By the shore of Sorrow's sea,
waves of tears roll endlessly,

cries that pierce this misty veil,

By the shore of Sorrow's sea,
waves of tears roll endlessly,

cries that pierce this misty veil,
on wings of echoed winds take sail,

osmium heart, head bowed in hand,
her lonely footprints on the sand.

By the shore of Sorrow's sea,
sitting, waiting patiently,

holding every memory
on this side of eternity,

a mother's love will always be
by the shore of Sorrow's sea.

Until the day her soul is free,
she strolls the shore of Sorrow's sea.

Here I stand the fourth year at your grave,
Still trying to accept the decision God made.
I drive myself crazy for a hint or a clue
Of why at nineteen He had to take you.
I would have made the choice if I'd been given one-
Today someone will die; either you or your son.
I would have stood tall and cried, "Lord! Let it be me!
He has his whole life to live and a precious baby!"
But obviously God doesn't work that way,
For whatever reason, He wanted you that day.
And now here I stand with tears in my eyes.
Every day for four years, I can't tell you goodbye.
I only say I love you and try to concentrate,
To hear your voice, to feel your touch, to see your handsome face.
And if I live to be a hundred, I'll still ask Him every day
Why didn't He take me instead of my only child away?
