Parents who lose a child live their grief for the rest of their lives. This lovely poem shows how much love a parent has for their precious one, even years on from their loss.
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel.For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.

I came here looking for something to put on my first Grandson’s grave. My poor daughter has lost her first child to still birth, and her heart is broken to pieces. I am trying to stay strong for her, but it’s the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Reading these poems, I can’t keep my eyes dry long enough to read one through. Not only the pain of loosing baby Kaden, but seeing my beautiful Daughter hurt so bad, is enough to kill me alone. I can’t help her, and nothing I can do to ease her pain. I feel selfish to say I hurt so badly too. I loved him so much all ready. We buried him this morning, and it’s hard to believe the hurt will ever go away. Sam, my daughter, would have been the most wonderful mommy in the world, with more love in her heart for her Son, than one Son could ever use. It’s so unfair that there are people who don’t deserve children, and have them no problem. My sweet heart lost her baby, and the unfair that is felt is unreal. I’m sorry, but that’s how I feel. Your poems are beautiful, Thank you for letting me read them. These precious little ones are angels, and nothing less than a blessing. Bless you all who have been through this. Sending love to you all, from a Grandma who wants to love her Grandson. <3
Dawn: thinking about you, your daughter and little angel Grandson. It is such a cruel and heartbreaking experience. Glad the poems have been helpful and I hope they inspire you to find words to express you love and sense of loss.
