We've just lost my husband's father, not quite 92 years old, so a celebration of a long life. My husband asked if I would like to say something, and I came across this beautiful poem. He was dearly loved. Thank you for sharing this, and I hope I can get to the end without crying.

This poem is so beautiful. I wanted to read it at my father-in-law's funeral, but every time I tried beforehand, my voice broke. Luckily, a member of the clergy at our church has agreed to read it. It means so much. Thank you, Diana.

I lost my father in 2015. I felt as though I couldn't make it, but I read this poem and it really helped me through. I just had to lean on Jesus.

I lost my best friend on 11/22/14 he got stabbed and was left there to die, I lost my two uncles in the same month. One died the first week of February in 2015 and the other one 02/10/2015 its hard to know they're not here. But this poem really gave me some hope again. I wrote this peom down and I read it from time to time as if I'm talking to them again. Thank you for writing this poem, it really helped me

I just turned 14. This year is the 7th anniversary of my brother's and sister's death. I was seven and I remember everything. Rebekah woke up my older brother. I saw the fire burn my skin and left a bruise. Rebekah screams of help, who was struggling to breathe while Rooben was sleeping the whole time. An officer told us, "I'm sorry...". This poem has touched my heart deeply because I can relate to it. Well, to start this poem has touched my heart deeply.

I lost my boyfriend he was 24 years old he was stabbed in his country. I still don't believe this I was just talking to him. This is the hardest thing I have to deal with in my life. I don't eat sleep much. I never lost somebody so close to me like this before, I'm lost.

I lost my husband two months ago. We were a very young couple. I'm only 27 and my son 2 and a half. It's the hardest time of my life. I feel like it will never be the same again, but am hopeful and believe this stories and poems will help me gain strength again.

My mother just recently died suddenly at only 50. My grandfather took his life a week after my mother. I can't believe this all happened. I'm only 25 and its quite a shock. This poem made me feel a little better. I don't think I will ever feel normal until I see her again.

This poem meant the world to me, I was feeling down after losing my husband just ten months ago. You keep thinking things will be getting easier but they don't.

Well, my grandad was in perfect health but unfortunately he has passed away and just remember that life is like a moving cycle...people die and people get born. You cant change the way the cycle moves but you can pray for all your loved ones who have gone missing. I know you must be thinking I'm crazy! and how can we just accept that fact but we have to. We cant make people not die and all. Remember this quote and say it to your loved once everyday!

' IF YOU LIVE TIL YOUR 100 I WANT TO LIVE TIL IM 100 MINUS ONE DAY SO THAT I CAN BE WITH YOU FOREVER AND NEVER GO EVEN ONE DAY WITHOUT SEEING U! I LOVE YOU! :) '

Well I lost a friend about a month ago and he died young. He was just in the 8th grade with me. I had every class with him. This poem reminded me that he's ok and he has no pain anymore and that I will see him again and never have to say goodbye. He was so funny and it's hard to believe he's gone, but he will always be like a bro so I love and miss you bub
