21. The Loss Of A Child's Father
- By Elizabeth Dougherty
- Published: June 2008 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Letter From A Mourning Wife And Mother

Your loss came so unexpectedly.
I thought many more years we would have to share.
But God had another plan
and at times the loss and grief are things I just can't bear.

Your loss came so unexpectedly.
I thought many more years we would have to share.
But God had another plan
and at times the loss and grief are things I just can't bear.
We created the most wonderful son.
And he looks and acts just like you.
I never thought that I'd have to raise him and care for him
not always being reassured by you of the right things to do.
He asks about you all the time and says
"Mommy, I miss daddy. When can I see him again?"
I tell him that you are in heaven
and when you reunite
you can catch up on all the things that have been.
Hours, days, months, and years pass by
but the love of a father and a son never runs dry.
I miss you as one of my best friends,
but I can't change anything that has happened or what has been.
Our son is the legacy that you leave for all to see.
And I pray that God has wrapped his loving arms around you,
allowing you the chance to be all that you can be.
I love you, and I miss you.

23. Broken Hearts' Day
- By Lisa M. Daugherty
- Published: February 2018 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem About Missing Husband On Valentine's Day

Here I sit, all alone
in my quiet, empty home.
Where do broken hearts go
on this sweethearts' day?

Here I sit, all alone
in my quiet, empty home.
Where do broken hearts go
on this sweethearts' day?
I don't know!
Rest assured, I will visit your grave,
grasping our love and the memories we made.

I can't let you go.
I can't make you stay.
So tell me now,
what do I do with this day?

Broken Hearts' Day,
that's what today is.
Tears and sadness are how I live.
Partners for life, that's what you said,
but here I lie alone in our bed.

So full of sadness, consumed in grey.
No one to hold me on Valentine's Day.
You will be mine again someday,
but for now,
right here is where I lay,
all alone on this
Broken Hearts' Day.

24. Until We Meet Again

Poet Introduction
- By Hazel J. Rex
- Published: December 2020 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Coping With The Loss Of Your Loved One

Alone in my darkness I still see your face,
sometimes your presence and your warm embrace.
I look 'round the house; it's calling your name,
but nothing I see here quite feels the same.

Alone in my darkness I still see your face,
sometimes your presence and your warm embrace.
I look 'round the house; it's calling your name,
but nothing I see here quite feels the same.
I then feel a shiver run right down my spine.
I hear you say, "Baby, everything is fine."

"I'm here watching over you; I'm right by your side.
The rough and the smooth I will gently guide,"
so I close my eyes and I see you smile,
and I can see you for a while,
and I know one day that we will meet
together forever, our journey complete.

25. The Masks

Poet Introduction
- By Nancy Crosskill Longanbach
- Published: June 2015 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem On Hiding Grief

I have so many different masks.
I wear them one by one.
I see them in a pile
When my day is finally done.

I have so many different masks.
I wear them one by one.
I see them in a pile
When my day is finally done.

There's one for when I'm happy
And one I wear when sad.
There's one for when I'm pensive
For all that I have had.

I try not to hide behind them,
To just let my sunshine glow.
I've learned from you, "Just be yourself,
And no one else will know."

"You had so much and lost it,
And you tried to get it back.
It may take some time! Be patient!
It's just confidence you lack!"

If I stay true and honest,
There will be no need to wear
These masks I see at bedtime
That are lying on my chair.

26. Live Our Dreams
- By Nicolene Jansen Van Vuuren
- Published: May 2011 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Message From Husband From Heaven

Staring at the little dots in the sky
Wondering which one is you
Asking the same question, why?
Only answer I know is that you knew.

Staring at the little dots in the sky
Wondering which one is you
Asking the same question, why?
Only answer I know is that you knew.
Sitting by the window, watching the rain fall
Never felt so cold.
Remembered the last story you told.

Hold on and be strong
Live you're life, do your things
For it's in heaven I belong
Go on and live your dreams

In a song I still hear you
In a flower I still see you
But your bed space is empty
It's just your memory that comforts me.
Missing you is a rollercoaster ride
Emotions up and down
Always wishing you are by my side

But I'll hold on and I'll be strong
Will live my life, do my things
And promise to live our dreams.

27. Dreading Christmastime

Poet Introduction
- By Victoria L. Thomas
- Published: November 2016 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem Struggling At Christmas After Losing My Husband

I'm dreading Christmastime this year
Because I have so much to fear:

An empty space beside my chair,

I'm dreading Christmastime this year
Because I have so much to fear:

An empty space beside my chair,
No gentle caress upon my hair,

No Christmas card from him to read,
No loving kiss upon my cheek.

The mistletoe will be unused,
And songs will make my heart feel bruised.

My heart is heavy, my pain is great.
There's nothing left to celebrate.

For my love has gone beyond the veil,
And all I want to do is wail:

"Christmastime, leave me alone!"
Happiness has left my home.

28. I Would Follow You Into The Dark

Poet Introduction
- By Storm Campbell
- Published: March 2017 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem Wanting To Be Reunited With Husband In Death

I would follow you into the dark
If you didn't leave me so much to live for.
I would follow you into the light
If I knew you knocked on heaven's door.

I would follow you into the dark
If you didn't leave me so much to live for.
I would follow you into the light
If I knew you knocked on heaven's door.

To be with you one last time to say goodbye
Or maybe to live with you for eternity,
I wish I had all the strength in the world
To give up my life so carelessly.

I would follow you into the dark
If I didn't promise to live on in your name.
I would follow you into the light
If we didn't have a son to carry our flame.

I would walk into the unknown
Just to see your precious face.
I would make a deal with the devil
To see where you are, whatever the place.

I would follow you into the light
If there wasn't such a big question mark.
Oh, what I wouldn't give baby,
To follow you into the dark.

29. Is Anybody Listening?

Poet Introduction
- By Lisa Miller
- Published: March 2008 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem Mourning Husband After Difficult Marriage

Alone with the raging in my soul,
I know not where to turn.
I have opened up to some,
But this raging makes me burn.

Alone with the raging in my soul,
I know not where to turn.
I have opened up to some,
But this raging makes me burn.

My heart and soul are screaming,
But I try to hold it in,
For, they make me feel I'm wrong,
That my hurt is like a sin.

I am fighting for a way,
To be not weak and small.
But my pain is not subsiding,
Please someone hear my call!

I've done what they have asked,
Tried going down their path.
But they know not why I'm hurting,
They haven't felt the wrath.

I look to them sincerely,
I TRY to help them SEE,
But, they just don't understand it,
So they choose to leave me be.

I long to just be normal,
Then maybe they'll accept,
The reasons why I need them,
The reason why I've wept.

The demons they hold strong,
As, they've broken my life down.
Are they afraid of these monsters?
Is that why they seem to frown?

I'm afraid to admit,
The help that I need.
I don't want them to know,
That in my pai I BLEED.

I have learned how to live
With many kinds of pain,
But, I will never let,
My husband die in vain.

Because he was unkind,
So many years before,
I think his death, they want me,
To move on and IGNORE.

Tyrone can you hear me?
Can you please let them know,
That special part of you
That I just can't let go?

Is anybody listening?
Does anybody SEE?
Help me put to rest, my Ty,
Please help to set me free!

30. Beside Your Grave

Poet Introduction
- By Debra L. Brown
- Published: June 2019 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
One Year Anniversary

I left a simple rose today.
I laid it down upon your grave.
Then memories came rushing - from the past,
of our lives together; we said it would last.

I left a simple rose today.
I laid it down upon your grave.
Then memories came rushing - from the past,
of our lives together; we said it would last.

I remember the time, hand in hand, we ran
through the tall grasses and warm sand.
We laughed at all of your jokes and stories.
The way you told them it was never boring.

Although it's been a year today,
my heart is sad - it won't betray.
It seems like time has been delayed -
the long cold nights and the gloomy days.

I thank God for the time we had.
My life with you was never bad.
I pray for a new dawn and sunny days,
as I stand here beside your grave.

31. A Sad Day

Poet Introduction
- By Jennifer
- Published: February 2009 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Remembering The Funeral

A song plays, indicating a start of a journey.
A woman sobs loudly, mourning her husband.
One last chance to tell him all she wants,
she just stands and stares, with her tears falling.

A song plays, indicating a start of a journey.
A woman sobs loudly, mourning her husband.
One last chance to tell him all she wants,
she just stands and stares, with her tears falling.

A bugle begins to play the dreadful "Taps".
She stays still, not sure what happens next.
A flag is presented to the grieving widow;
she grasps it and holds it close to her heart.

A man tries to tell of this man that she loved;
he doesn't know enough to properly convey,
the way that this man touched everyone's life.
The laughter and joy he brought to all that he met.

The ritual is over and she falls to her knees;
she can never leave him all alone in the breeze.
She tries to rise but is too weak to stand,
she'll need a band of angels to help her through.

Three women, stoic and silent, appear at her side,
they wrap their arms around and hold her near.
They help her up and as they begin to walk,
she thinks, goodbye my love, you're finally home.

Poem About Life After My Husband's Death

The years have gone so fast, so slow,
The seasons spinning round as years drift by.
I miss the looks we shared, the smiles,
The warming touch of gentle hands.

The years have gone so fast, so slow,
The seasons spinning round as years drift by.
I miss the looks we shared, the smiles,
The warming touch of gentle hands.

The years have been so long, so long.
The silence met, returning home.
I miss your laughter, sparkling eyes,
The loving look and mutual joys.

The years have gone so fast, so slow,
Seasons marking empty days.
I miss sharing my life with you.
I miss the way our hearts would sing.

The years have been so long, so long.
I've watched the seasons, counted days.
I've truly lived the best I can,
My broken heart made strong by love.
