My Son

My son and me

I write poems since the loss of my son, it helps me express my pain, but I don't think it helps me move forward. Anyway here is my latest poem.

Time is moving forward
But the pain remains the same
Eight months have passed now
And nothing seems to change.

You were taken so suddenly
I could never be prepared
For the pain that I would feel
For the deep and dark despair.

A dark cloud descended
Over my world that day
For the loss of my child
There are no words I can say.

I long to see your face
To see you walk into the room
I long to hear your voice
Saying Mum I love you too

I know this will never be
I know this for a fact
But that doesn’t stop the longing
The longing to have you back

I can’t deal with the pain inside
I feel emotionally shutdown
From the pain that I try to hide.
The pain that’s so deep down.

I have asked myself many times
Will it always hurt this way?
Will the pain ever subside?
Will it ever go away?

They say time heals all wounds
I really don’t think that is true
I just have to learn to live
With the pain of losing you.

So on this sad day my son
I want to say to you
How very much I love you
And miss you so much too

Dear mum,

Your poem was wonderful. I loved it. I lost my son 7 months ago on July 1 to suicide. I am in deep pain and crying all the time. I miss him very much. We have to live with this pain for the rest of our lives . But both of us will see our child. I am sure about this when our time comes we will join them.

I know you're pain of losing ur son ! It never goes away or gets easy ! We lost r son may 3 2006 he was almost 3 mon old he had a cough so I took him to the dr and she said he was a little congested but was fine and he had an ear infection so she gave him an antibiotic for the ear infection and we left I got his med filled and we went home he seemed fine he was playing and no fever so later that day I gave him a bath and his med and then feed him his bottle then I layed him down for the night . Well at about 5am my oldest doughter wich was 2 at the time woke me up wanting choc milk so I got up and was checking on him in his bassenet wich was right beside me I was checking on him and he looked weared so I rubbed his belly to get him to jump and nothing then I noticed he was blue around his mouth !! I then knew something wasn't right so I yelled at his dad to get up and he jumped right up I couldn't pick him up I was in shock !! He was very hot !! We ran him downstares and his dad started CPR as I was on the phone with 911 they come and took him to the hospt. They worked on him up the rd as they was doing prolly 100mph they got him to the hospt and they worked on him for about 1 1/2 hours and not one sign of life they said his temp when he got there was 104 and that was prolly coming off of 112 like he spiked a fever and it was so high it just took him ! All this happen not even 24 hours after he was at the dr wich she was a new dr ! She came to the hosp and talked with the dr then left ! They did an otopsie and it was like forever b4 we knew anything first the medical exsaminer called and said it may have been SIDS and I said NO !! He was running a fever so there was infection somewhere and SIDS they go to sleep and just don't wake up so then months went by and the funeral home called me and said we have the death certificate if u want to come get it so I did and it said he had acute broncular phnemona so then I took his death certificate to the dr wich was right beside of the funeral home so she could have a copy of it and as I was walking out she said I wish or I should have done a cheast x ray and I said what she said oh nothing I'm talking to my girls so I then left and that raised a red flag so I then got a lawyer and a yr passed we only had 2 yrs to file it so then by the end we had went through 4 lawyers and they al at first said this is a big medical milpractice case and that she changed her paper work that she wrote the day I had him in her office she toled me he was congested then after all this she put on there his lungs were clear and that he had broncitis wich was never said ! They said it would b to hard to prove bc her paper work was scetchey I seen her paper work but nothing was done to her she is still a dr !! We have a lot of unanswered questions ! I would love to talk to her but when she sees me she jets and won't even look at me ! Mommy loves u baby clinton wesley allen craig feb 8.06 to may 3.06 mommys little sunshine !

I lost my son on 5/5/11. Life will never be the same. He was my oldest child. 34 yrs old. Motorcyle accident. It is not real. His dad & i miss him so much. He was my lover, hugs & kisses & "i love u mum." I know i have to go on for myself, my husband & my other children. But how? God I love you baby boy!! Why??? Life is not fair, I was supposed to go first, not my child. 34 or 15, it doesn't matter. Hurts the same. It's been over a month. Feels like i saw him yesterday. When will it get easier? Always told him to be careful, he always said, i will mom. Love you Jimmy to the moon & back, forever & ever...

To My Son--I miss you--MOM

I lost my son on November 30, 2010. He took his own life with a gun. He left a beautiful daughter behind. That I don't understand because I know he loved her very much. My son was not an angel all the time but I did find out that he was diagnosed with bi-polar/manic depression. If you haven't lived in our skin then you don't know what parents are going thru that are grieving the death of a child. My son was 36 years old but he was still "my baby". It's so hard going to work everyday and trying to get thru when all you want to do is get your son back so you can help him and that will never happen, but you can still hope. GOD BLESS YOU PARENTS ONE AND ALL

I LOST MY SON
by: BLANCA

I lost my son one month ago he was 22, i think I'm
living in denial, it hurts so much that I block my mind when I SEE his pictures, I don't know what will happen when I WAKE UP TO REALITY

My Son
by: nina

That is such a lovely poem my son Michal died 32 months ago and i still feel the same as the day he died. and it does not get any better you just learn to live with the pain. I read poems lost son and i can feel the pain in the words that people have written. The only ones that know sadly are the ones that have lost a child. The only way i live is to hope we meet again.

Benjamin
by: Cindy Moynan

I lost my son, Benjamin, December 25, 2009. He was at a Christmas party with his girlfriend when her brother decided to make our lives a living hell. He murdered my son.

Sleepless nights
Dreams of him
Never ending nightmares
How can someone's hate be so strong
Because it is, over powering and pure
for the person who took my son.
For he not only took my boy's life
but all the lives that his friends and family
would have had with him.
Miss you Ben

the poem about our sons
by: Dee

I lost a big part of my life Sept 09' when my Jamie went to be with Jesus suddenly that nite, after taking too much medicine with codeine. Your poem said all my feelings too. He got to be ordained as a minister in July 09', preached churches, made a tape ministry, and touched so many lives in his short time. He was 38. I plan to write a book on his life, when I can get where I can concentrate, and not cry all the time. God bless all the moms who are in this group..

Dear suzanne
I lost my son too on july 18,2009 he was 16. A man took his precious life. It's a pain no one can understand unless they go through the same.
It's a pain that I don't think it will ever go away. Yes they say time will heal, but the pain is deeper and deeper everyday.
God bless you.

words so true
by: sandy

I lost my son to a drunk driver 12/2008 and the words to your poem are so perfect! You will be in my prayers and thoughts and i hope u don't mind me bookmarking this page to return when needed.

your son is just like mine, your pain is just like mine
by: swaraj yadav

HI, YOUR FEELINGS, YOUR PAIN HAVE NO LIMITS, I HAVE ALSO LOST MY SON ON 08.08.08. WHO WAS HIMSELF AN ARMY DOCTOR AND RANKED CAPTAIN. I WAS OVERCONFIDENT THAT NOTHING CAN BE HAPPEN WITH HIM IN HEALTH ISSUES. BUT SUDDENLY I GOT A MESSAGE FROM HIS COMMANDING OFFICER THAT HE HANGED HIMSELF. THOUGH HE WAS HAPPY AND TALKING WITH US REGULARLY EVEN BEFORE THAT FATAL DAY, HE TALKED TO HIS SISTER AND MADE PLANS TO COME ON LEAVE TO ASSIST HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW IN AN OPERATION.

BUT THIS MESSAGE SHATTERED EVERY THING . TILL DATE I AM SEARCHING THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH. AND UNABLE TO TOLERATE THIS LOSS OF MY ONLY SON WHO WAS ONLY OF 26 YRS.I CAN SAY ONLY THESE LINES....

No one waits for you and no one keeps a look out for you
Your pain affects no one and no one cries for you
Why do you think some one else is your own?

The sages say that the world is water
And this life - is like writing in water (momentary)
Every one sees it and every one knows it
But it is not in any one's grasp
There is nothing that is yours or mine

im sorry
by: Wendy

I lost my son Judson on September 4th 2009, he was 17, and he had an arrhythmia that never would have been detected......it took us all by storm and so suddenly, it's so sad, we never got to say goodbye and every day i long for his smile and his laugh..just to see his face....he never gets to attend a prom, graduate, join the marines as he was ready to do, and he never gets to marry and have children.....the loss of a child is the most difficult thing ANY Parent EVER will have to endure and I am sooooooooooo very sorry for your loss....my prayers and thoughts go out to you!

Leedon our Angel in Heaven
by: Lesley Couzens

HI,
I lost my son, Leedon, on 17 August 2008 to a motorcyle accident. He was hit by a drunk pedestrian. I have tried to move forward, but it is the most difficult thing to live with. The pain is like a knife that is constantly piercing your heart, only when you have lost a child can you know how it feels. It has been 19 months and still I wake up thinking it is a nightmare, but it isn't! I want him back so I can hold him, touch his face, see him smile, hear his voice, listen to him sing and kiss him happy birthday again. I have also written +-20 poems in his memory and I find that when I am sad it helps me get all the anger and frustration out of my system. You're now an Angel Mom.

Your poem

That's such a personal poem, thank you for sharing that with us. I do hope things will start to feel better soon. Grief is difficult and at times brutal. But just try and remember it is only painful because we were able to love and be loved in return.

Your son . My son.
by: Vicki

This is beautiful, I lost my son, he was 39 only six weeks ago, he was severely disabled and we had the most wonderful relationship any mum can have with a child. Your poem put my feelings into words so beautifully, thank you, and God bless all the Mums who are suffering as we are.

My Son
by: Anonymous

My son was born August 10, 1963, his life was taken June 1, 2009.

I also fell into a deep, dark place which enveloped me so that I could not see anything but the picture of him when he was a small child. I still hurt so badly at times until I think I cannot get past this pain. I know he is finally at peace, a peace he could not find in this life. It is little consolation to a heart that is in so much pain.

my son
by: Beckie

It has been 1 year since I lost my precious son to a motorcycle accident. My life will never be the same again. He was my life and now I go through each day lost and empty.

My son James
by: Nicholas

I lost my son in a car accident, it is so painful I cry sometimes after eight years; he must be special in God's eyes, of this I am sure. I hope that one day I get a glimpse of him on the way to my final destination. His mother joined him just a few years later, never recovering from his loss. Now there are two in the midst of Christ. Blessed be our Father in Heaven.

The pain
by: Anonymous

Thank you so much for sharing your heart and your words.

It has been 10 years since my own son died...and you're right...the pain doesn't ever go away! it changes as we do, it becomes easier to move forward...but never will the hole in my heart be closed. I will always and forever long for him, as I am sure you do!

Bless you,

Thank you
by: Lorraine

Thank you for the poem, it said exactly what I wanted to say!

I too lost my son, he was only 3 days old, and even though it was nearly 30 years ago the pain is still inside.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your grief.

My Son
by: Gert.

Dear Suzanne, I know the pain you are going through, you see I lost my youngest son Mikey as a result of homicide on January 16, 2008. He still walks in my soul; we shared a bond that not even death could break.

He worshipped the ground his mama walked on, it's still so much like a bad dream. I keep hoping he'll find me and say "I love you mom" and hug me like he used to. Then I have to face reality and remember he is gone from this life.

He loved his family so much, it's hard to put into words the heartache and pain one goes through in this time of loss. As mothers, we're not supposed to bury our children. Someday I'll learn the reason why, the same God who helped me through this will tell me, then I'll understand.

I too wrote a poem for my son. It's called "Missing A Son at Christmas", it's actually a letter to Santa telling him about my son. God bless and keep you in His loving care.
