...

I wish I wish with all my heart
just to see you once again
I miss you very much
it's just not the same with you gone

there's a hole in our heart
and silence in the air
to leave so sudden
hurt so bad

you were my aunty
and I will never forget
the fun we had and times we shared
for all these memories will be treasured
I love you so much
and know your okay, never in pain
and I will try to stay sane
but I still feel empty inside
without you here by my side

I look around and see you everywhere
everything makes me think of you
I look through old photographs
and see you there by my side, holding my hand
and I start to cry
the pain returns, and I wanna die
I know your with me
as I get stronger everyday

uncle misses you like crazy
and cries everyday
for he can't wait to see you again

you were his first and only love
your parents thought your love was rash
you vow your vows and said "I do"
and together till the end was held forever true


We love Aunty Tammy always and forever may you rest in peace, to never be forgotten

I lost people who aren't close to me like my cousin but I know how hard it is to lose someone especially when they meant a lot to you... if I can go back in time I wish I will be able to spend time with my cousin so her death would really be a loss and not just something that happened one day.

i know what you mean :(

Feeling pain and greiving is part of what makes us human... and is seldom age dependent. Understanding what the hurt is all about and how it both affects AND effects us as family and friends IS age dependent AND a measure of the growth of our maturity as a person. We are allowed to hurt... and cry... and hold others as THEY work through and deal with their own sense of loss.

Grieving also allows us the time and opportunity to remember (and appreciate) all the GOOD and the little things that made a relationship so special and important to us. We celebrate the opportunity of having had such a person to share our world even if the sharing was so very, very short.

It also gives us an example of how to be as adults and the importance of sharing even little things - when you can.

Tkae care, Remember the heart and the hopes...touching dreams AND all the hands held.

So sad to lose someone you love so much. Lovely to think of their love, a lifetime spent together but so tragic for your uncle as well. Try to stay strong for your family :)

Great piece, tackles such an emotional subject with such grace

[Max]

I love how it flows so smoothly, and the emotion put behind it.

I feel your pain. It may come back again ans again, Loss does that to you, It is truely like a gaping hole that can only be filled by time and memories. Time does pass. Thank God!

There's a lot of genuine feeling between the lines in this piece. Some say that it doesn't matter when you write but I have to disagree with that theory. If you wrote this at 1 am then that was the right time to do it - your mind was focused on your topic.
It's an engrossing piece because it feels so personal and it invites the reader into your deepest feelings. Well expressed.

"I look around and see you everywhere

I experience this everyday

"but I still feel empty inside
without you here by my side"

I'm sure that same feeling is felt by many others.

This is a very touching poem. Thank you for sharing it.

This is such a soft, gentle and beautiful write. G hope that you find comfort in there sad times. Whether they have been gone 1 year or 10 it still hurts as much. You just learn to cope with it better. Hugs for you. X x

It's always nice to write something about someone you miss. I find it helps make the pain easier. It was a nice read, and she sounds like she was a great person, but there were a few grammar mistakes. Capitalization and a proofread would make this much better~ but it was still good, of course
