Tribute Poems on the Loss of a Friend

What are some of the feelings that one might feel when a friend passes away? When someone that is special to us is gone it can be difficult to continue living life. Things that were special to you may begin to seem pointless when you don't have that special person to share it with. All of the things that you did together are reminders of the loss that you have suffered. Do yourself a favor and take the time to mourn your loss. As you go through the five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, memories of the good times you spent together may bring a smile to your face instead of a painful grimace.

  3. 2. Memories Of Jan

    Every day you cross my mind in memories that I treasure
    like the times we use to travel and cook and the times we sang together.
    I never got to say goodbye, but I'll never stop talking to you
    and let you know how my day is going and share a memory or two.
