Family Death Poems

Quote :

A death in the family leaves a void that cannot be filled. No one can ever take the place of this individual in the world. We should not try to comfort the family by saying that "it was his time anyway", or, "he was suffering". These may be words of comfort later. However, there must be time to mourn the fact that things will never be the same. One minute he was here and now he is gone. The human mind must be allowed to sit with this reality. Mourning is a necessary part of the human experience. If it is ignored, a general feeling of sadness may pervade the whole family.

In Our Hearts:
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.


I'm Sorry Mom:
I’m sorry mom, for the things I put you through
I’m sorry mom, for not doing the things you wanted me to do
I’m sorry mom, for leaving you so soon
I’m sorry mom, for that call you got that afternoon
Leaving you was, the last thought on mind
Just like so many, I guess it was just my time

I thought about you, the last minutes of my life
I thought about my son and I even thought about my wife
But momma I can imagine, how this must be for you
Because I see you, when you are alone
When nobody else do

I don’t want you to feel so much pain
There’s really no one to blame
Tell dad to stop grieving
I see his pain as well

I almost didn’t make it in
Ya'll know the life I live
But I had a second chance
And the Lord heard my prayer

My life wasn’t taking instance
I had time to repent
I ask the lord to wash my sins
And show me a better way
He opens up new doors for me
And here is where I stay
So tell everyone who doubted me
I made it anyway

I’m sorry mom for leaving you, without saying goodbye
I’m sorry mom for hurting you, I still see you cry
I’m sorry mom, but be happy , I got my wings its true
Something no one ever thought,
So the next time I see you crying, it’s my wing that will be holding you

I’m so sorry mom, and I will always, always love you.

The Loss Of A Cousin:
My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see
But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me
I’m glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand
I lie in bed and cry at night
And I don’t feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss him forever
Until the day we are again together.
Together in that perfect place above,
Filled with caring, sharing and love
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away.
And hopefully see him again someday


Dad, Where Are You?
Gone...but where?
I can't call you on the phone
I can't knock on your door
No matter how loud I scream you can’t respond

I held your hand as you took your last agonizing breath
You fought with your heart and your soul
you fought for me and to watch my son grow, but you lost..
we lost

My son will never know you;
how funny you were
how generous you were
how there was nothing that could stop you from giving me everything I needed and wanted...except this

You won’t be able to walk me down the aisle
You won’t see me graduate from college
You won’t comfort me as life pushes me down

where are you?
I want to hug you and tell you I love you Again
I want sit and have hot cocoa and coffee together
I want to laugh and smile the way only you could make me
I miss you like crazy dad
I just wish I could find you somewhere out there to let you know.

Missing You:
My eyes fill up in tears,
as I miss you through the years,
I lie in bed at night,
as I think of this scary fright.

I love you with all my heart,
I wish we wouldn't have to be apart,
I keep thinking that this can't be real,
I wish you only knew how I feel.

Tears roll down my face,
To see you in such a happy place,
I hope we will meet again someday,
So the pain inside me will wash away.


Left Alone:
So many things we never got to do
So many conversations we never got through
I feel lost and empty now
Every day I ask, how?
I could feel nothing when you died
I felt I wanted to run and hide
Run and hide cause I felt blind
Peace and and clarity I couldn't find
They say when you die your soul just flies away
I wanted to chase your soul, so for another day you could just come and stay
You were my Grams, you taught me how to stand on my own
Now that you’re gone, I feel as though I can’t do it alone
I've tried so hard to see things through and become the person you wanted me to be
Sometimes it’s just so hard being me
I'd give anything if I could just talk to you once more
To see you walk through the door
and tell me that everything was going to be alright for sure
When I look into the sky I picture you staring down
Which is why I have no reason to frown
All the things you taught me, all the songs we use to sing
Now you’re gliding under God’s precious wings
I hope He’s taking good care of you because now you’re in His place
I hope all your worries and all your fears have left your face
I never got so say goodbye that was the worst part
But I know that when you left secretly you said goodbye to my heart
So when I lay myself into bed tonight
I know you'll always be there to hold me tight.

I Will Try:
If I am hurt or down,
I will try

I will think of you in my times of need,
When my life is getting rough.
When I'm down with a frown, I know
That the memory of your face will cheer my up.

When I try so hard to move on,
But begin to breakdown and cry.
I will think of the happier place you've moved onto,
And once again I will try.

So when we're all missing him so,
All we have to do is try.
To think about the happy time we had with him,
And then he'll know we tried

If we're hurt or down,
We'll try


Goodbye:
I'll never forget the times we talked
I'll never forget the secrets.
I keep them in my heart, they're locked.
All the times we shared so happily.

I'll always remember the way you laughed,
Your smile and your sent.
All the times we shared together
All the times that we spent.

Holiday get together's will never be the same,
without you there to share the joy.
To watch the kiddies grow and play
and their excitement of a new toy.

Now that you're gone
all we can do is cry,
because if love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
