Loved Ones

I lost an important person in my life, a friend and a brother. We attended the same church. I was the choir director and he was our only pianist. Though when he was alive, some of the choir members who didn't know how to play a note would make a mockery of him because when someone changed a key while singing it was hard for him to switch to the new key. But when he was gone we were all left wishing we could hear him play one more time.

I lost my husband 3 days before my birthday. It was a sudden death due to normal causes. It's so unbelievable. I go to bed each night and wake up every morning hoping it is all just a bad dream. However, my tears start flowing unstoppable as I realize I'm in my room alone, and my husband isn't returning home. That's when I start praying to Jesus, knowing it's best to lean on God more, cause I hope to reunite with my husband one glorious day. Amen.

I lost my cousin two months ago. He died from cancer. He saved me from myself. I was seven when my uncle first touched me. It wasn't like all of the other times we had played together. I hated how he touched me. I didn't understand anything back then, but I knew that I didn't like it. He told me that if I told anyone that he would kill my mommy and daddy. I believed him because he brought out a gun on me every single time. As I got older, the abuse it worse, but when I was 12 he just left. I was 14 when he came back. He wouldn't disturb me if I was asleep. I couldn't fake it because he knew if it was pretending. So I asked my cousin to get me sleeping pills because he is the only one who I told about the abuse.

Last year I lost my grandma and my uncle. I really couldn't get over it. But your poem has made my mood change and is really inspirational.

Thanks, and I will keep you all in my prayers.

PS: All of you stories are really emotional and beautiful. May they all rise to heaven. Amen.

About 4 years ago, I lost my cousin to suicide. At first, I kind of felt numb and that it wasn't real. The last few years , I have had break downs every month or so where I just cry about it, missing her. And now I know how she felt, being depressed now myself, and knowing what she was going through. I know I have the strength not to commit suicide knowing what it did to my family.

About three years ago I lost my uncle Jeff to cancer and it kills me still to not have him here.
When I needed to talk I could always go to him no matter how bad it was or even if it was just to cry and not say anything.
I just wish that I could have told him bye or even to hear his voice one more time. I have never felt this much pain in my life and I know that this won't be the last time.

I lost my sister 10 months ago. Words cannot describe the grief and pain I feel through all this. She was 21 only 2 years apart. She was a victim of suicide. Not one day goes by that I do not think of her. The idea of never hearing her voice or seeing her face kills me. I know she's in a better place and she isn't feeling pain. I just know if she would have known the pain she caused me and our family she wouldn't have done what she did. I feel so alone in all this. With a room full of people I feel like I'm always alone.

Just lost someone who was like a mother to me, she was always there for me, she was a true angel. I've been crying non stop since I found out-never did a death hit me soo hard! I can't take it, I can't even get out of bed, feels like my world just crashed and I'm numb with pain! I lost my mother and this beautiful soul kind of took her place, now she's gone also *crying* *crying* *crying* how do I go on?

I lost my grandmother a week ago she was killed in a car crash. The minute my mum told me I broke down in tears. I felt like it was the end of the world for me. Before she used to read me stories to go to sleep we were so close. Every night I pray for her and hope she is in a better place.

I lost my Baby brother in a horrible accident, He passed away at a very young age, he was five years old, he would be seven now. Beautiful little boy, love you forever
Every night I try to find you, but I can no longer see what I have been looking for, for so long.
All my strength I put into everyday, trying to move on, trying to cope without you, I miss you boo. I cannot touch, smell, see or hear you anymore,
It's funny because everyone thinks I'm okay now, it's been two years, everything's amazing, back to normal. No it never will be. Ever. If hope we meet again one day boo because if love you too much to forget you. RIP

I lost my great uncle Makeen on the 22nd of May 2013. He loved me and also loved me like his own daughter. He never get angry for any reason; he was the nicest guy I ever saw. He was the nicest man and was therefore loved by many, including his family. This poem touched my broken heart very deeply. I can still remember the day we went on our family trip to Nuwara-Eliya with my great uncle On 3rd Of May. You will be in our every prayer.

I look up to the heavens knowing that you are angels now, I pray everyday cause I know you are listening to me, it's not easy to say goodbye so I never will but I will say see you later cause I know we will meet, I smile cause everyday even if it hurts, I miss you I guess god needed his angels back next to him so I will say I love you till we meet again.

I lost my cousin recently in a motorbike accident, me and him were like brother and sister and it hit me pretty hard and now his little brother is considering suicide because he wants his big brother back. I am scared to lose another little cousin and I blamed myself for the accident even though I was on the other side of the country when it happened. I still see his face every night when I fall asleep and I would do anything to hear his voice again. I love you Joel, never forgotten

Hey my name is Samantha I am 16 my mum passed away a year ago on the 11th of September 2012. When I was younger I didn't really have a nice childhood I was in and out of care from the age of 5 then when I was 10 I met my dad then I wasn't allowed to see my mum which hurt. Then I got told my mum had passed away at that moment I broke down the pain I was in I can't explain. I wanted to die myself, they say the pain will go away but it won't. The hardest thing is that I didn't get to say good bye I should of got the chance to. I love her so much and I want all this pain to go away. Love you mum I will never ever forget you and can't wait till we meet again.

I lost my Grandfather and my little brother in the same year. In 2005. 2 months apart from cancer. That was the hardest time in my life. My mum asked my brothers, my sister and myself to say something at my little brothers funeral. Somehow they all managed to find words to say but just now reading that poem I would have read that but honestly no matter what I would have said, they're gone, but at least they know how much I miss them and love them with all my heart.

My great uncle passed last week (Sunday) and he was such a nice guy. He was loved by many and when we were at his funeral there was a lovely poem inside the card. The poem was so good that it made everyone cry cause it was so true. I'm afraid to lose any more of my family. I love them all to dearly. I'm sorry for everyone's loss. You will all be in my prayers.

Words are easily said but these word speak the truth . I've lost my aunty who raised me as her own to lung cancer. I will never grow apart from her, she is apart of me that I will never let go. But your poem gives me hope that she is right here next to me.

I really like your poem because when I was just a little girl my grandma died from lung cancer. I was on the internet when my mom came in the room in said my grandma just pasted away. She was crying and everything I didn't know what to do it was like my head was about to bust. My mom told me I was gone have to look up some poems for grandmas funeral I started busting out crying. I still looked up poems. It was last year I was 12 when she died. When I first spotted your poem and read it I told my mom we could use yours. You made me feel like she was better off were she was then suffering.

Today my grandmother passed away... I can only say that I miss her. Is that enough? I feel like another part of me has gone and it won't come back. It's like all the colors are gone. I'm twelve but I was the only one there who wasn't crying it's as if I couldn't feel anything, after I read your poem it's as if I knew she was okay.

I lost my sister and my Dad both to cancer within a couple of years, my sisters funeral being on Monday... You try and find words and can't find the right ones but this says it perfectly for me.

I loved your poem. It touched me and a lot. My grandpa passed away about a year ago. He had stomach cancer and it was very painful to see him suffer. He was 85 yrs old. I really miss him but you know what he doesn't suffer anymore and he is saving me a spot right next to him. Loved your poem

Hi um my names Lisa and I'm 14. I've lost 2 family members to cancer and my uncle is next, I'm scared and I wrote this for him xx your poem encouraged me x

The pain and sorrow is so much to bare,
Knowing that you will not always be there,
By my side, whispering in my ear,
Not to worry and not to fear.
Not to hide and drift away,
But to stay strong and live another day.

Live another day?
I can only try,
But my soul is dyeing and fading away
For every time I hear you cry,
The pain builds up and tears run down,
My cheeks and fall to the cold ground.

I hold you now in this time of sorrow,
But I may not be able to hold you tomorrow.....
