Really beautiful by: Anonymous
This poem does, I am sure, bring parents who have lost children, a lot of comfort.
Please, don't ask me if I'm over it yet I'll never get over it Please, don't tell me she's in a better place she's not here with me Please, don't say at least she isn't suffering I haven't come to terms with why she had to suffer at all Please, don't tell me you know how I feel Unless you have lost a child Please, don't ask me if I feel better Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up Please, don't tell me you had her for so many days What days would you chose for your child to die? Please, don't tell me God never gives more than we can bear Please, just say you are sorry Please, just say you remember my child Please, just let me talk about my child Please mention my child's name Please, just let me cry.
Comments for PLEASE!!! My Poem On The Death Of My Child
Anonymous from April 13th still doesn't get it. She reads the poem yet she goes on to answer everything that was asked of her to not do. Just to show that all who do say things may be positive for you to say but truthfully nothing you say will ever help except just being there. The amount of pain that comes from this is greater then anything you'll ever feel and I know you're trying to help, but the only thing that would help is our children to come back. You need to just respect your friend or family member cause time is the only other thing that help. Smh

Okay. I wont do any of those things. by: Anonymous
My poor angel. I wont tell you that your daughter is with all your family members who went before. And that she is love dearly and being nurtured. But she is. I wont tell you that she will grow up in the spirit world to be a fine your woman. But she will. I wont tell you that in your sleep state. And although you will not be allowed to remember it. The Spirit you will visit and spend time with her and all your other loved ones on that side. But you will. I wont tell you that eventually you will be reunited with her, and only then will you remember all those visits. But you will. I wont tell you that every time you think of her she will be there with you. But she will. I wont tell you that every time you cry, then so will she. And that she will have to return to her own world inconsolably sad because Mommy is sad. But she will. How do I know these things? I too have lost three boys, plus one who never saw the light of day, and my wife to the Spirit World. But I am a lifetime Spiritualist, and the President of a Spiritualist Church. I am constanly in touch with, and aware of one or the other around me. Often they tell me of things I have said or done. Like the time I meant to put my socks in the washing machine, but put them in the dustbag. That caused a bit of laughter on the otherside. My poor angel. Only time will heal a broken heart. So I wont tell you that you too are surrounded by your loved ones from the otherside, all trying to comfort you. But you are.

I have never lost a child. I am blessed but I work as a Hospice Social Worker/Bereavement Counselor and this is truly one of the most touching poems I have read. My heart goes out to all with a loss of a child. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes as I write this.

A GREAT POEM by: Raymond and Juanita Sapp of Quitman, Georgia
Thank you for this poem, it is so true. We lost our son a little over 2 years ago. Kevin was in a tragic truck accident. He was 24 on 6/27/09 and his accident on 7/4/09. That holiday means nothing to us now. I tried to go in his room, but it is so hard for me too. It like a hole in your heart that will not heal up. Kevin was a great son. I'm his mother I still cry for him everyday. We love and miss him sooooooo very much. He is our heart and always will.

Please! by: Anonymous
I totally relate to this poem. I lost my son last year and have had people say it is time to move on. (it will only be a year in April 2010). THAT is when I want to scream: PLEASE! don't tell me what to do until you have been through the terrible heart-wrenching experience of losing your child. God bless Manette

My beautiful niece lost her fight last November and all my family are still in total shock. The ups and downs when she went into remission followed by the horror of her final day, 2 years to the day on from her first diagnosis. People really don't know what to say so usually say nothing. Your poem is amazing.

A Mother's Grief by: Maureen
Thank you you for your beautiful poem. It felt like I wrote it myself.
I'm finally able to put my thoughts in writing. We lost our son Charles,our sunshine,14 years ago, but it seems like yesterday.
I can still see his smiling face, feel his soft skin, smell the scent of his clothes and hear his sweet voice saying "I love you Ma". The inner pain and feeling of sadness is there,it never goes away.
You're always thinking "what if ???." Only someone who has lost a child really knows how we truly feel. Thanks for wonderful memories of my precious child. "Love you,Jr",Ma

The Truth of the Pain From the Lost of a Child by: Cynthia
Thank you, beautifully written for putting into words how the lost of words that are offered in such a time of pain are meaningless. This type of lost is a pain that follows you in life that continues deep into your very soul forever.
I buried my son ten years ago from a medical condition not curable. And the pain often seems like it was just yesterday.
When trying to give comfort to such pain caution should be used in respect of one's feelings - feelings that truly are only understood when "you" actually loose a child. There are no words that can bring comfort to such pain.
Just be in the moment with the parent, be still and allow the parent to share their feelings. Silence - can do wonders at such a difficult moment.

How true! by: Delissia
Thank you so much for your honesty. I lost my daughter, Brittney, to a tragic automobile accident one year, 4 months, and 18 days ago. It still feels like yesterday. She was only 20 years old, so much more life to live. I get so tired of people asking how I am and constantly telling me that time will heal. That was my child, my baby girl, no- time will not heal. I will never see her again and that will never change. I, too, have heard so many times that God will not put more on you than you can handle also. On, on, and on. You're so right, unless you have lost a child- don't give me advice on how to feel better! I didn't just lose a goldfish, I lost my child. Thanks again for the poem, it is so real.

Out little April by: Betsy & Rocky
Still .... on August 13th, six years ago, we lost our precious April (sixteen years old) and yes let's talk of her and her most beautiful self of becoming the person she wanted to be. She did exist and will always be in our hearts. We miss that twinkle in your eyes and the warmth of your smile.

Wow! by: Ed
Thank you for your poem. We lost a one year old 12 years ago, and rarely a day goes by we don't think of him. Still find it difficult to go down the "baby" aisle in stores. The journey is what it is and the others will really never know how deep the pain goes.

Sorry by: Anonymous
I am sorry.
Your poem was beautiful and so honest.
Thank you for sharing.
I am so sorry.
Baby girl can you see my tears, way up in heaven can you feel my fears. Baby girl can you see what I dream at night, because it's you my angel shining bright. They used to say we were never seen apart, but when I close my eyes I still see you in my heart. Now all I can do is wait for my life to end, so that one day we can be together again.
Her loving smile and gentle touch, her amazing voice I miss so much, To hear her sing, to hear her talk, A million miles I would walk.
To hold her hand, To see her face, To know that she is in a good place. I know its hard not to cry, but she was taken and I don't know why.
With wings to fly, and halo's so bright, She is the brightest star that fly's throughout the night, I miss you so much and that's no lie, sleep tight little angel way up high.

Very beautiful Catherine. I hope you will continue to write. Susan
We have just lost a dear little girl aged 11 - through a tragic accident at school - she fought for her life for a week - but her strength did not hold out - Her name is Elle, my Son's niece by marriage, but she always came to tea on a Friday with my own two grandaughters and often called me "Nana" - I have chosen this beautiful verse for the card on my floral tribute to Elle - continue to write such beautiful words xxxx
please don't cry,don't weep for me am not gone and still with u am that star that shines in the night am the wind that blows
please don't cry for me God saw me in pain and took me, to paradise where happiness is for ever please don't cry am not gone am just in the other room if u listen so carefully in your heart u will hear my sweet voice
please don't cry for me i will be here waiting to see u and when u come i will greet u with a smile on my face. please don't cry
How do I overcome this sadness Or begin to say goodbye Where do I go to find the answers So that I can understand "The Reason Why"
Like Christ, I felt forsaken The day You took my (son/child) away Lord. Why did our prayers go unanswered When So Many people prayed ?
I cried out to you in anger And begged to let me take (his/her) place Oh ... how I long to hear (his/her) voice again And see (his/her) smiling face
But you were at the dawn of All creation And laid the foundations of the earth And it was You who gave "The Breath of Life" And the miracle of birth
So who am I, that I should question The Choice You made that day "For it is the Lord who giveth... And the Lord who takes away"
But there is a thought, where I find comfort And in my heart, I know it's true And that is... You took my child away from Me... So (he/she) could spend More time with You
In silence, I listen. I listen in the shadow of your story…and I hear it all. The pain of your losses, and the gains, in your bond of love. In silence,
