Poem For Nana

• by Can't Say

I lost both my grandmas within a 2 year period. It very well near destroyed me. So to see that people have had the same experiences as me and that they too miss their grandmas is an amazing feeling, to know that I'm not alone in my experiences.

My name is Caitlin and I lost my amazing Nana 4 years ago and it breaks my heart so much remembering she's gone. But she's not gone, she's in my heart and my mind. All I have are pictures. I cry at the thought of you because I will never get a hug again from you.
RIP Nana, I'll always love you forever.

My Nana passed away 4 months ago. She was my strength, and my rock, my best friend, and my biggest fan. When I woke up on that that cold February morning, my world came crashing down. A piece of me was automatically gone. It felt like a bullet went directly through my heart. She will always be in my heart and is forever my guardian angel and best friend. I love you to the moon and back again.

I lost my nana, my best friend, my hero, my soul mate, my garden. I grew up with my nana she was like my mom. I'll never forget her smiling face. Today I said goodbye my heart broke in two. But now I read this poem. With only hope for you. My nana was dear to me, and must be dear to you, for now she is in heaven and surely yours is too. Maybe they will meet. And look down at us, share the stories they had, and all the hug. I know they can't see us. Because there no tears in heaven. And if she saw my writing this she would be crying with me. But maybe just maybe. When you go outside and look up at the stars, tell your nana hi, and listen to her talk.

My nana passed away 17th December 2013, I miss her so much, so hard I will not see her again, your words have given me comfort as my nana is on her final journey Tuesday 7th January 2014 where we are putting her ashes in with her parents. I hope you do not mind but I have taken a few lines from your beautiful poem to help me, thank you it's comforting to know you are not alone in sad times.

My Nan passed away last week. She was so dear to us. She had a very long life so we can't be too sad, even though it's still very raw right now. We have her funeral tomorrow. I've written something myself to say but just wanted to say that I found the above very helpful in crafting words for her flower cards etc. So thank you. It's hard to say what you mean sometimes and any help, like above, is great.

My Nana passed away a few days ago on 19th November 2013, I read your poem out at the funeral, as the words meant a lot when I think of my own Nana and how dear and special she is to me :-)

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for those beautiful words, I am one of 16 grandchildren that lost our lovely Nana 13 days ago, we have the funeral tomorrow and I was looking for the perfect poem to be read out, thank you for sharing.

I was just crying because of something that reminded me of my Nana, passed in September 2009, God love her, and I needed a way to feel as though she's here still, loving me as she always did. Sometimes I just miss her presence and the smell that all Nana's have, the comforting and maternal one. Honestly, your poem filled my void and I have to thank you for that.

Hi, my nana passed away last night at the grand age of 95, she was like a second mum to me, someone I could turn to in times of trouble, who never judged me, she was an amazingly kind person, a huge inspiration to me and a wonderful role model, I've no idea how any of us will do without her and her guidance! Your poem really touched my heart and its as if you wrote it for her, please if you don't mind I would like to share it with my family at her funeral x

What a beautiful poem. I lost my Nana on Sunday 18th September 2011, She was the most wonderful and caring person. Your poem is so beautiful and I would love to read it out at her funeral as it fits her perfectly, I don't know how we are all going to cope without her. Thank you .xx

This poem was so sad, I was crying, I love my nana, and didn't how much I took her gestures of kindness for granted up until now. This poem made me realize what's important in life. I will print this poem and read it aloud at my Nana's funeral when the time comes to pass. Do not worry, I will not take credit for this poem. You are a brilliant poem writer, you should be famous.

My nana died on the 7th March this year, I was so heartbroken, didn't know what to do with myself, I was all over the place.. My grandad found her in bed next to him, me and my family went round as soon as he rang. At her funeral this is the poem that was read out, this is the most beautiful poem I have ever heard and I am grateful to have found it, as soon as I started reading it I began to cry, My nana was the world to me, I loved every minute I spent with her, **Even when she was nagging** Hehe. I love her dearly and she is missed everyday. Rest in peace Nana, God bless, Sleep tight xxx

Hello. Just wanted to say thank you for posting this poem. I lost my Nana a year ago, but it feels like yesterday. Your poem has said a lot of the things said at her funeral and it helps relive some of the pain. God bless you and your family. I know the both of them are watching over us right now, They will never be forgotten.
