There will be moments in life
That last forever
Such as today for you
My beautiful loving mother
I didn’t mean to hurt you
Nor have I left you
We are living together
In a different way now
My beautiful grieving mother
Your heart and soul is shattered
Even as I hold you within my heavenly arms
Your pain is beyond comprehension
I want to console you and tell you
I love you eternally
My beautiful loving mother
As you weep endless tears
Looking at my pictures
All the treasures I’ve collected
Over the years
The memories we created
Will now last your lifetime
My beautiful grieving mother
I feel your pain and
I hear your anguished screams
I also cry with you, here in heaven
Because I love you so much
My beautiful loving mother
In time beyond measure
For either of us to know
You will feel my eternal loving presence
And see the signs I leave you
To guide you and to help you
To grow beyond this tragedy
My beautiful grieving mother
Your soul will heal
Even though that seems impossible
I’m forever a part of your soul
I’m closer than you know
As I’m tucked safely within in your heart
My beautiful loving mother
Your pain and grief
Will change and soften in that
Elusive element called time
Your life is forever changed
Yet, I will always be with you
My beautiful grieving mother
Please know I am completely free
Wrapped in the eternal promise of love
I shall wait for you
As your work is not yet finished
My beautiful loving mother
You shall meet other mothers
Like you with children
Already here before me
Others will join me later
My beautiful grieving mother
Together, all of you will continue
Our legacy of love
Between mothers and children
As we live on through you
Until it is your time
For all beautiful loving mothers

My son in heaven helps me to reach mothers like you. I hope you feel some measure of peace. Sending you love from my heart to your heart.
I really needed this today. Our 30 year old son was killed by a suicidal driver on the interstate July 30, 2015. he was had 3 young daughters and was an EMT. We have to go on living each day but life has lost it’s sparkle. Still so many days the reality hits me like a punch in the gut. This was a lovely piece that made me feel his presence!
You touch my heart. You are my inspiration. Losing my youngest son gave me the purpose to reach other grieving parents. We can get through this together. I think our son’s would like that too ❤️❤️
I’m so glad this found you. Every time I reach someone’s heart. They in turn touch mine. Thank you ❤️
You were meant to see this. My heart searches for mother’s like you and me. My son in heaven helps me too.
I’m so glad to hear this. I search for mamas like you and me. We don’t have to walk this journey alone. Sending you love from my heart to your heart.
How beautiful.
Lovely words as I sit here on Xmas Eve with tears in my eye’s.
I miss my two little son’s in Heaven who both passed away with terminal illness.
I am so sorry for both of your losses. I can’t imagine losing two children. I know they are watching over you now, but holding them would be so much better. Holding you in my heart and thoughts mama.
I can’t imagine losing two beautiful souls. My heart weeps for you. Sending love from my motherly heart to your motherly heart.

It’s been 16 long months since my 1st born Kristopher was taking from us at the age of 20. Everyday I think of him some days I cry. The pain is like no other but is true you learn how to tuck it away bit the pain is always always there. I am truly sorry for all the mothers that had so threw this..
It’s been 5 years, 8 months and I still weep. I think we will always have heartache and miss our heavenly children. My son is forever almost 23. Sending love from my heart to your heart.
This is so beautiful. Thank you so much. I am really missing my daughter.
Thank you for your kind words. The ‘missing’ never goes away. Holding you in my heart and prayers.
Thank you so much for this poem, as I cry each and every morning, missing my 19 year old son, who died in 2014. The pain seems so much worse lately, reality, he’s never coming back.
The second year is worse if that’s possible. The reality sets in and the despair increases. We can walk this journey together and hold each other up sister. Holding you in my heart and prayers
This is so true and meaningful. I miss my son so much and feel that he misses his family too. That breaks my heart. I want to know he is o.k.
Thank you for your kind words. My son in heaven helps me with my writing. I know our children are in paradise and yet they are still with us. Sending love from my heart to your heart mama.
My son passed away unexpectedly on June 21 of this year. I am in so much pain that I cannot imagine ever experiencing joy again in my life. My life is changed forever.
This is the most soul altering experience to endure. We are forever changed. Holding you in my heart and prayers
Just so beautiful, I lost my son 6 years,ago, feels like yesterday
I think it will always be yesterday for us. This has been the greatest dividing line in my life. I’m holding you in my heart and prayers.
This brought tears to my eyes. Always thinking of my daughter Brianna, but this made me realize I am not alone. Thank you.
Child loss grief can be very isolating even from family. I’m searching for mothers like you and me to walk this journey together. Sending love from my heart to your heart.

Thank-you..I needed to read this tonight. Missing my son so much during these holidays and always…
We miss our children every day, but the holidays are the worst. I’m so glad this found you. Sending love from my motherly heart to your motherly heart.
Miss my boys so much. Arrison and Brayden passed January 5, 2007 in a house fire. You never really come back from such a tragedy. There is comfort in knowing i am not alone♡
I can’t fathom the loss of losing two children. My heart weeps for you. This is a long journey, but we can hold each other up. Holding you in my heart and prayers.
OMG This is a beautiful Poem. One of the best ones I read since my son passed in 7/7/15 . I miss him so much. I also shared it Thank You so much
Thank you Baretta. This is a long journey. It helps if we have someone who understands and can walk with us at times. Holding you in my heart and prayers.
Thank you for this beautiful read…Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my beautiful Daniel. 17 years was not long enough…
We shouldn’t outlive our children. We have to hold onto the memories for the rest of our lifetime. Sending love from my heart to your heart.
This is so beautiful Debra..I cried throughout the whole poem..I know my son is with me, i know he is happy, safe, and in a beautiful place, but i am still struggling with his loss and it was 5 years ago December 10th..It does bring me peace, but i cry still every single day..I long to see him so bad..He was my only child, not to say that it makes it worse, it doesn’t..One child could never replace the child that passed away..I won’t go on, i just wanted you to know that these words touched my heart so much..Thank you..

I am so sorry for your loss Fran. I lost my youngest son 5 years 8 months ago. We will always have our sons in our hearts. We will also have heartache missing them until we are reunited. Holding you in my heart and prayers.
Endless tears. I lost my son 8/15/16. 28 years old. My life will never be the same. The grief is worse with every passing day.
I’m so sorry for your loss. This is a long journey. There are no rules or timetables to grief, especially child loss. It doesn’t matter how many breaths they took, the pain lasts a lifetime. Take baby steps and baby breaths to get through moment to moment. Holding you in my heart and prayers
I lost my only son June 3rd 2014 he was 28 and his daughter was 2 years old when he went to heaven. The only way I have survived this grief journey is knowing he is in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ and Savior. The Lord is my rock and my salvation. I still cry everyday and I grieve for his daughter not getting to know what a special daddy she has. I always get her little gifts and tell her they are from her daddy and show her pictures and videos so she will know who her daddy is. On Christmas her wish was for him to come back from heaven. It is so heart breaking. As all the other mothers I will never be the same person I once was and til the day I leave this earth to met our Lord and get to see my Angel I will cry and grieve and praise and thank the Lord for his precious gift he gave to me to be the mother of my sweet sweet boy. And thank you Debra for writing such a beautiful letter!
We never expected to be on this journey. Even though our children are in paradise, I wish they could still be with us. I love and miss my son do much that I now search for mother’s like you and me. We don’t have to walk this journey alone. Sending love from my heart to your heart sister ❤️
Beautiful, thank you Debra ! Lost my daughter from an Avm , will be 4yrs. The 21st. Like all the other’s, word’s can’t describe how I miss that girl. The Lord blessed me with 3 girls. Thank you Lord !!
