Grandmother Death Poems

Grandmother Death Poems

Rest in Peace Grandma Poems

Grandmothers are famous for their hearty meals and fresh baked cookies, their abundant hugs and kisses, and their insistent desire to spoil their grandchildren. Times spent at grandma's house are often marked by love, laughter, and contentment. In fact, grandmothers are often responsible for bringing the whole family together. Because grandmothers are such a source of joy for their grandchildren, they are always sorely missed when they pass away. To lose a grandmother is to lose a most valuable family member. Many grandchildren find a peace and solace after the loss of their grandmother by expressing their feelings through poetry.

30 Poems Remembering Passed Away Grandmothers

  1. 1. Grandma

    Throughout my life, my grandma played the role of mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandpa, and grandma. Most importantly, she played the role of friend. She has been gone for a few years now, but I still live to make her proud.

    From my beginning until your end,
    You were by my side, my first best friend.
    I never expressed it when you were here
    Though my love and admiration were sincere.

  6. 4. Missing You, Nan

    My Nan passed away on March 16, 2012. That was the single most horrible day of my life. My sisters, my cousins, a friend, and I all carried her to her final resting place on the 23rd. We were the first time that the undertakers, of over 25 years in the business, had seen all women carry the coffin. That was one of my proudest moments. My Nan was my best friend. If I had a problem about absolutely anything, she was there. Sometimes she didn't give advice; just a cuddle was all I needed.

    Written for Edna Harrison. My Rock. My Hero. My Best Friend.

    and time will always pass,
