Brother Death Poems

Goodbye Brother Poems

Siblings that pass away have special meaning to us. They are often close in age to us and their death may bring to mind our own mortality. Life is no longer taken for granted. Someone from our generation has passed away. If the death is unexpected, there may be loose ends in the relationship that have not been dealt with. It is common that a death of a sibling brings upon a search for meaning. We may ask ourselves if we are accomplishing the goals that we have set for ourselves.

43 Poems about Losing a Brother

1. For My Brother
- By Shelly Domenici
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2018
I lost my youngest brother suddenly. I couldn't sleep one night, so I wrote this poem to read at his service. He was born on my 5th birthday and we always joked around that we couldn't ever get rid of each other. I would say, "I can't lose you, can't break you, can't sell you at a yard sale, and I can't throw you away, so we're stuck with each other." He would say the same. If I only knew I would lose him so suddenly to death. 10/14/1970 to 08/09/2018

You left without
Warning.
Gone so fast.
Now all we have

You left without
Warning.
Gone so fast.
Now all we have
Are memories
Of our past.

You are loved by so many.
You might not
Have known,
But in our hearts
Is where
You have grown.

The memories
I have throughout
The years
Will last
forever with
Laughter and tears.

We shared our
Birthday
Since I was five.
My wish now will be
To have you back healthy
And alive.

I will miss you
Oh so much.
So will all
The lives that
You have
Touched.

I can't say goodbye.
I can't accept
Your death.
You will live in my heart
Forever
Until my last breath.

2. A Wish And A Prayer

In loving memory of my brother, Don.
04/02/66~04/02/08
May your sweetest dreams be realized and may you forever rest in peace.

May your spirit soar in freedom
From the fears that gripped so tight.
May you find the peace you searched for
As you wandered, lost, in the night.

May your spirit soar in freedom
From the fears that gripped so tight.
May you find the peace you searched for
As you wandered, lost, in the night.

May your tortured mind be clear and calm
And your tender heart be warm.
May you have no need for strength now.
May there ne'er be another storm.

May the music of the angels
Be the sweet sounds that you hear.
As you're rocked in Heaven's cradle
May you ne'er shed another tear.

I'll wear your memory proudly,
My only brother...my true friend.
May my love for you reach Heaven above
Until we meet again.

Poem About Losing A Brother

My memories are what I have left,
and a lesson I will not forget.

The time has come when time is no more

My memories are what I have left,
and a lesson I will not forget.

The time has come when time is no more
and all that's left was once before.

The memories so dear and true,
those memories of me and you.

Although we fell and stumbled at times,
all those hills were necessary climbs.

All the times when your heart shined through
are the greatest memories I have of you.

I will always remember you, brother of mine.
In my heart I will keep you, so I will be fine.

I will go forward with my head up high.
It might be hard, I cannot lie.

But in my heart you will be,
moving forward, you with me.

4. Goodbye Brother
- By Sunshine
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2008
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to my brother, and I thought writing a poem was the best way to be able to do that. Dedicated to Donald Wayne Tyarks.

Heaven has called upon you today,
leaving so many words left to say.
But now it's too late, for your time has come.
Words unspoken - I am sure everybody has some.

Heaven has called upon you today,
leaving so many words left to say.
But now it's too late, for your time has come.
Words unspoken - I am sure everybody has some.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too,
but lasting forever are memories of you.
I was there when you needed a place to stay,
just like you would be there for me night or day.
There have been many times that we disagreed,
but we were there for each other in time of need.
Now it's time for me to say goodbye,
until we meet again in heaven to fly.

5. For My Big Brother
- By Tyra
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2010
This was written for my one and only big brother who meant the world to me! Miss you a lot. I know we will meet again someday.

Poem For Loss Of Big Brother

You showed me a lot of things.
I learned a lot I didn't know,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing -
How to let you go.

You showed me a lot of things.
I learned a lot I didn't know,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing -
How to let you go.
I know you didn't mean to leave me;
Sometimes we have no choice.
I miss being your little sister,
Hearing my name called by your voice.
I wish I got to say "I Love You"
Before you were given to the sky.
If God could grant me one last wish,
I'd ask to say "Goodbye."
You always meant a lot to me.
I could never love you less,
I know it's true when they say,
"He only takes the best."

6. It Was Just Too Hard To Believe
- By Racquel
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2007
This poem is about my little brother. This poem talks about many emotions I go through each day. I miss him greatly!

Poem About My Little Brother

I never thought,
I would see the day.
When you wouldn't be there,
to show me the way.

I never thought,
I would see the day.
When you wouldn't be there,
to show me the way.
You taught me the difference,
between right and wrong.
You always had a way,
but that was before you were gone.
You'd come in my room to play,
To tease and to tickle,
Oh.. you always made me smile.
I don't know how you did it,
I'm not sure I really care.
But I know that you are with me,
I know that you are there.
I cry and I cry,
for what seems like forever.
But I know someday will come,
And we will be together.
One day you were there,
the next you had to leave.
I didn't know what to do,
I didn't know what to believe.
In front of my friends,
I tried not to cry.
But I kept wondering why.
Why this and why that,
why you had to go.
I tried my hardest,
not to let my feelings show.
I couldn't just say,
my brother had died.
I knew nothing would change,
so I kept it all inside.
It took me quite a while,
to accept that you had died.
With that I want to say,
I miss you and goodbye.

7. Brothers
- By Steve Mason
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2012
This poem was written on Christmas eve, 2004, the first Christmas since the death of my younger 21 year old brother. He was killed in a car accident. This poem was my Christmas gift to my 25 year old brother. I was 29 at the time. I truly believe there is no bond like a brother has for his other brothers.

Poem Celebrating The Life Of A Brother

From the depths of my heart, come the words of a brother,
where our souls and our minds, are like that of no other.
The spirit of competition, will always be there,
in the look of our eyes, and the glance of our stare.

From the depths of my heart, come the words of a brother,
where our souls and our minds, are like that of no other.
The spirit of competition, will always be there,
in the look of our eyes, and the glance of our stare.
Protecting each other, is always a must,
good times or bad times, never losing that trust.
Like a vision of Indians, riding across desert sand,
or the heart of a Raider, when he conquers new land.
We never lacked courage, or showed too much pride,
with no thoughts of guilt, or feelings put to the side.
It's important to strive forward, and not live through regret,
but to savor the memories, and to never forget.
To be such close companions, always made me so proud,
never scared to express feelings, our emotions speak loud.
Whether it's heaven or on earth, our souls are always together,
we share that sacred bond, knowing that brothers last forever.

8. Can't Live Without You
- By Roxane Faulkner
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2012
I wrote this poem about my big brother who passed away when he was only 14. And I just don't know how I can live without him. He taught me almost everything I know, and now I feel like I can't achieve anything without him.

Missing Big Brother Poem

So, I am sitting here, writing this poem to you,
because right now it is all I can do.
I write all these poems from what I feel,
all these feelings I have are too real.

So, I am sitting here, writing this poem to you,
because right now it is all I can do.
I write all these poems from what I feel,
all these feelings I have are too real.

You were the only person I looked up to,
for everything that I wanted to do.
But now you are gone,
and I just can't move on.

All the things I learned from you
are the things I want to do,
but I can't because without you I'm not good enough.
I'm not confident or tough.

I want to be there by your side,
with you for the rest of my life.
I want to be in your arms,
where I could never be harmed.

You were my big brother,
And I never would have asked for another.
And you were too young to die.
I wasn't ready to say goodbye.

9. For Deric
- By Angela Lowry
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2016
My brother was diagnosed with adrenal gland cancer on April 28, 2011. He died in a hospice on July 18, 2011, leaving behind so many people who loved him. He was my younger brother by 14 months, and I don't know what I am going to do without him. He truly was my best and truest friend. If love is a legacy, he left it in abundance. We are all better for having known him.

Poem About Losing Brother To Cancer

My tears will never cease to flow.
I cannot bear to see your pain.
We share a past no one else can know.
Now I'll never see your face again.

My tears will never cease to flow.
I cannot bear to see your pain.
We share a past no one else can know.
Now I'll never see your face again.

Brother mine, you were always there.
Through thick and thin we laughed and cried.
Poignant memories only we can share
of childhood days when we stood side by side.

We bickered and argued like all kids do,
but our love for each other was always there.
I knew I could always rely on you
and that you would never cease to care.

We grew up and went our separate ways,
sometimes not seeing each other for years,
but I will never forget those days.
I remember them through anguished tears.

My brother, why did this happen to you,
a kind, loyal, loving dad?
What on earth did you ever do
to leave us so swiftly, grieving and sad?

You did not deserve to suffer like this.
I'm sad I could do so little for you
but hug you and give you a gentle kiss,
and pray your strength would see you through.

You have given your family so much love,
and you've always been my truest friend.
I know you'll watch over us from above
and be there for me at my life's end.

Message From A Sister

From day one all we did was fight.
Now all I do is fight back my tears.
I wanted to do everything you did,
because I wanted to be just like you.

From day one all we did was fight.
Now all I do is fight back my tears.
I wanted to do everything you did,
because I wanted to be just like you.
Now I sit here wondering what to do,
because there's no one to replace you.

I never did tell you all the things I felt,
like how much I really did love you.
I wish we could go back and start over again.
I don't want to be alone. I need my brother.
I need my best friend.

When you think of me
while you're up in heaven,
think of how much you meant to me.

It's sad that you left
without saying goodbye,
but just remember we all love you
as you began to fly.

You did so much for me,
though I didn't do much for you.
I hope you will forgive me
for all the things I didn't do.

You were my brother
and my best friend.
I will always love you,
no matter how long its been
since your life came to an end.

11. Big Brother Gone
- By Christina A. Covarrubia
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
A girl mourns the death of her big brother.

Day by day, I think of you.
How can all of this be true?
I can't believe you're really gone;
I still can't accept it,

Day by day, I think of you.
How can all of this be true?
I can't believe you're really gone;
I still can't accept it,
Even after so long.
Just the thought of you makes me cry.
I never even got the chance to say goodbye.
Every picture, every letter...
I don't know if it will ever get better.
I always smell your familiar scent.
It makes me think of all of the times we've spent.
I know we didn't always get along,
And every time we talked, it would always go wrong.
So many things I never got to say.
I never imagined you'd ever be so far away.
You were my brother,
And I loved you like no other..
In my heart you'll always be;
You'll be my guide and help me see.
I'll never forget your soothing voice.
I would take your place if I had a choice.
But now I have to let you rest,
Although without you my world's a mess.
I miss you with all of my heart.
I wish we never had to part.
I know you're always by my side,
So now I guess this is my goodbye...

Rest in Peace Manuel- Christina

12. Pain And Sorrow
- By Roxane Faulkner
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2008
This poem is dedicated to my big brother, Thomas Joseph Liggett. He passed away in a fire at age 14. I was only 8 at the time, so it was really hard on me. I could never get over his death. Writing poems helps me let go of my feelings and the pain I feel for the loss of my brother, my best friend.

I'm Always Missing You

This life is filled with pain and sorrow,
I always wonder if I'll make it through tomorrow.
I don't know what I'm going to do,
I'm always missing you.

This life is filled with pain and sorrow,
I always wonder if I'll make it through tomorrow.
I don't know what I'm going to do,
I'm always missing you.

I think about the joy, laughter, and tears,
and try not to have any fears.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath,
But once again I start thinking about your death.

You told me you would only be gone a little while
And told me to always keep on a smile.
But it's been longer than a while,
How do you expect me to smile?

I know you will always be in my heart,
But it is slowly breaking apart.
I always loved having you near,
and now I wish you were here.

14. In Memory Of My Brother
- By Marie
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2011
In memory of my brother. What can I say? He was my brother, my only sibling. He was always there for me whenever I needed him. He never had the chance to get married or have children because God needed him elsewhere. I miss him heaps every single day. He would of been 50 now. Where did the 20 years go...I still can't let go. But I guess he would be at peace, which I have to keep telling myself, no more suffering. My best mate, my best brother, 'til we meet again.

It's been so long since you've been gone
It still hurts all day long
There isn't a day that goes by
Without me thinking why

It's been so long since you've been gone
It still hurts all day long
There isn't a day that goes by
Without me thinking why
So many things I wanted to say
I never imagined you'd be so far away
In my heart you'll always be
Until the time is meant for me
I never got to say goodbye
But I know you're always by my side
We share so many happy memories
My only brother...my true friend
May our love for you reach Heaven today
You're sadly missed by all
Until we meet again

My love and thoughts I'm sending

16. Missing You Forever
- By Sanaz Shokravi
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2008
I wrote this poem 2 weeks after my brother took his own life. It has been a year now, but the pain hasn't gotten better. These words are just a way of expressing the pain.
He is missed-- Mehrshad Shokravi (October 31, 1980-October 8, 2007)

It's been two weeks today
that you finally got it your way.
You left us here, without a farewell,
leaving behind just your smell.

It's been two weeks today
that you finally got it your way.
You left us here, without a farewell,
leaving behind just your smell.

Everyone tells me to respect your decision
and understand that you fulfilled your mission,
but they don't understand my pain.
They don't know how it feels to be stuck under the rain

I wish I could hold you
and tell you that I love you.
I wish I could understand.
I wish I were there to hold your hand,
maybe I could have changed your mind.

The night that you decided to leave
and to no longer believe,
I know you weren't afraid anymore
of who would be waiting for you at the door.

I finally saw your last letter.
I was hoping it would make me feel better.
Instead, I miss you more,
and your last words made me swore.
It made me wish you weren't gone
because I don't know for how long I can stay strong.

It's been two weeks I lost you, brother.
It's been 2 weeks I lost my other.
I wish you had given me the chance
to take one last glance
at you face filled with love
before you flew away like a dove.

Rest in peace, brother.
I hope you will no longer suffer.
I will be waiting for you in my dreams
to re-live all those beautiful memories.

17. I Often Wonder
- By Christian
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2011
This year would have been my brother Nicholas' 21st birthday on September 15. And on that day we'll put a proper gravestone over him. He died after just 13 days with us due to a heart condition, and although we never met (I was born almost exactly 2 years after), I couldn't help but think about him and who he would be. I tried to fit my family into the poem, so each of us have a line in the poem that explains us, and if he perchance would be like us in those ways.

How Life Would Be

I often wonder how life would be, if you were still down here with me.
I often wonder if you'd make them proud, would you be quiet or would you be loud?
I often wonder if you'd be class clown, bring someone up if they were down.
I often wonder if you'd be bright, be the type who is always right.

I often wonder how life would be, if you were still down here with me.
I often wonder if you'd make them proud, would you be quiet or would you be loud?

I often wonder if you'd be bright, be the type who is always right.
I often wonder if you'd be like Dad, and be the rock for those who're sad.
I often wonder if you'd be like Mom, and the one to keep us calm.
I often wonder about you brother, and how us five could use another.

I often wonder how life would be, if you were still down here with me.
I often wonder if we would bond, would you be like me and blond?
I often wonder if we'll meet one day, about the words we'll choose to say.
I often wonder, I must confess, if us not meeting hurts more or less?
I often wonder if when we cry, is that just how we must say goodbye?
I often wonder, I just can't resist, to think about the good times that you have missed.
I often wonder late at night, if on a cloudy day, you're a ray of light.

I often wonder how life would be, if you were still down here with me....

This is so perfect to how I feel. My brother passed away before I was born and I was named after him, so I have always felt this massive connection and sometimes emptiness and jealousy that I...

18. I'm Alive
- By Abigale
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2008
I wrote this poem to remind myself that no matter what, we will always be connected to our loved ones. Wheather it'd be friends or family, a bond can never be broken, no matter what the distance looks like. I've dedicated it to my baby brother and his free spirit whom I know is with me wherever I go.

I Am Still With You

Do not stand beside my grave and cry
Because I am not there
I am still alive

Do not stand beside my grave and cry
Because I am not there
I am still alive

I'm the sunlight sparkling on the grains of wheat
I'm the cool ocean breeze in the summer's dense heat

I'm as free as the wind that makes the leaves quiver
And as alive as the water that rushes down the river

So do not miss me
Because I was never gone
I'm with you like the stars
That shine until dawn

So please
Do not stand beside my grave and cry
Because I am not there
I have not died

19. How It Will Be
- By Steven Campbell
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2010
I lost my brother when I was only 7, he broke my heart. But our love is forever. Driving and being under the influence of anything is not worth it, trust me. It destroys families.

You Will Always Be In My Heart

It feels like it's been forever
since I've seen your face.
I miss you so much.
In my heart you will always hold a special place.

It feels like it's been forever
since I've seen your face.
I miss you so much.
In my heart you will always hold a special place.
All the good times we've shared,
the memories we've made.
Every day I think about them all,
From my mind they will never fade.
How I wish we could walk arm in arm, hand in hand, heart to heart.
If I would've known that it would end like this,
I thought we'd never have to be apart.
You were always the light at the end of my storm,
the star in my sky.
You were a blessing,
you were perfect in my eye.
So many questions I still have to ask,
my best friend gone.
Why?
You were too young to go.
It didn't have to be like this, you didn't have to die.
From now until the end of my life you will be on my mind,
every minute,
every hour,
every day.
I love you,
I miss you,
and this is how it will stay...

20. Whisper To Find
- By Alicia Jackson
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2017
My brother committed suicide in 2008, and I started to write a short poem about him. I was only 15, and now I am 25. I stopped writing because I lost myself when he died. Recently, I started writing again when I found the journal that I kept and saw I had started this. It has taken me almost 10 years to finish this.

Traumatic Loss Of Brother To Suicide

I hear your voice in the dead, dark night.
I look around, but no one's in sight.
Through the storms, the rain, the wind I fight,
But all you are is my whisper to find.

I hear your voice in the dead, dark night.
I look around, but no one's in sight.
Through the storms, the rain, the wind I fight,
But all you are is my whisper to find.

I see your face when I close my eyes,
A burning image I cannot hide.
Then it cuts through me like two sharp knives
That all you are is my whisper to find.

Your voice used to be all I could hear.
Now it's slowly fading away.
Your shadow used to be so near,
Now it's slowly slipping away.

I close my eyes, but your face is gone.
You're not there in my mind.
I try to search for your voice,
But you're no longer my whisper to find
