I lost my cousin in 08. It's been 3 years now that she's been gone. I miss her everyday. I look at her picture, but everytime I do I cry, my cousin died in a hospital bed she was only 19 she was sick and she couldn't take it anymore. She was too weak. My cousin was like a sister to me, my bestfriend, she was the kind of girl who was always happy and so kind to people she loved music. She died right before her birthday. I'll always miss her, today I still cry for her thinking it's all a stupid dream, but no. I have guilt that I never went in to see my cousin in the bed dying, you don't know the pain I feel everyday.

I love this poem. It remind me of my 14 year old cousin Kevion. He died on a Sunday in 2010. He died because of a lot of loss of blood during a surgery. He was my best cousin. When I heard the bad news I wanted to kill myself. I know now that he in heaven with all of my other loved ones and that he will always be by my side. This poem remind me of him. thank you for sharing this!!!!!

I lost my cousin to suicide 3 months ago its been hard not to see his voice or see his wonderful smile. but there is always one thing I wonder why did he do it he had 2 beautiful sons and a beautiful wife. It was hard losing my first cousin. When I think of him I think of the family he left leaving us all hurt and making us suffer like this, but I know he's in a better place with my beloved grandmother. Love uncle tarus rip December 22 1977-November 16 2010 hmm I miss you so much

I just lost my cousin yesterday morning. He was only 22 yrs old, he was soo young and full of life. I keep repeating the accident in my head, he got into an accident on the side of the freeway and when he got out of his car a car struck him. This loss had devastated my family and while trying to find a poem to read to my family to ease the pain of this tragedy I came across this poem that made me feel so much better. We love you Carlos and you will forever be in our hearts.

I lost my cousin yesterday =[ what a way to start the new year. she has been sick for awhile. and she couldn't hang on anymore. she just couldn't recover. she had nerve damage on the whole right side of her body due to some drunken guy that had punched her. and ever since then she has never been the same. So as of yesterday she's been gone. She was my favorite person in the world. Was everything and more, but I will be strong for her and her daughter that she has left behind. <3

This is such a nice poem. I lost a close cousin of mine August 1st in a one man car accident. He was driving on the freeway and his sunroof was open. When his back tire popped the car went on it's nose and he flew out the sunroof and the car landed on him. He was only 16 years old and his birthday was a month later. Till today I can't believe he's gone. I spoke to him the week before and we were talking about how I was going go get him from the airport. Because he lived in Miami Florida. All I want to say is RIP Emmanuel Amirkhanyan. I always love you. Thanks for writing this nice poem
by Analucia
I lost my cousin exactly 10 years ago, he was only 15 at the time and he died eight days before his birthday!

Thank you for sharing this with us who have all lost someone near and dear to us..... It's greatly appreciated..
by Jacky
this is very true and touching.
I lost my baby cousin almost 3 years ago, he drowned on the 12.10.07
When I heard the news I felt empty and shattered. Nothing is worse then the death of a loved/family one.
My last memory of Adam will be cherished forever. There isn't a day that goes by were I don't think of him, and there wont ever be one.
this Tuesday on the 12.10.10 Adam would of turned 7 this October. His memory will never fade away x

My Cousin died 2 months ago on August 22,2010 and he got stabbed On/in his chest. When I heard the news I felt like if I got shot by a gun right in my Heart, it was very painful, he meant a lot to me, he was always there for me, for whatever. I get really sad when I remember him but now in days I feel happy because I know he don't want me to be sad no more, so I smile and think that he is smiling and looking right at me from heaven above :) .

My cousin passed away on Aug 20th 2010 due to a car accident on Friday the 13th.. He was in the ICU for 5 days and getting better when things took a turn for the worse. He left behind a twin sister, a wonderful mom, a beautiful girlfriend, many wonderful friends and family that miss him dearly. There isn't a day that goes by that I wish he wasn't here with me even though I know that he's in a far better place. RIP Chris "Red" Davis... I will love you forever cuz and I can't wait to see you again!

What a lovely worded poem I lost my cousin 7 days ago he got killed in Afghanistan I can't get my head around it. I just feel I want to wake up out of this dream thanks again.
by Carmel
Thank you soooo much for this poem. My cousin was a U.S. marine who was in Afghanistan when he got shot and killed June 7, 2010. It is now July 22, 2010 and his birthday is the 28 and we won't be here for it he was going to turn 23 years old. I now have a dog tag necklace that a fellow marine had made and was giving out to family and I missed it but his kind girlfriend of six years gave it to me and I never take it off. That is why he is and always will be my hero and I will always remember MY cousin Sgt. John K. Rankel.

This poem is simply amazing it touched me, I really felt like this poem was reading my feelings. My cousin had sickle cell anemia and passed away on September 2, 2009 a week before I started my college life and he was suppose to start his junior year at my old high school after the week he past away. It's been hard not seeing him around. Once I graduated I said to him the only reason I go and visit the school is to hang out with you during your break, but once I heard the news I didn't know how to react and I didn't want to visit the school because I would of looked for him. It took me a year to have the courage and visit. It didn't felt the same, but I knew deep inside he was walking with me through those hallways. R.I.P Gio you will be missed but never forgotten. I love you primo.

My Cousin Sammie and her new boyfriend was killed by a train trying to cross the tracks to get to the other platform on 9th March 2010. She was beautiful, kind, caring and it was such a shock for us. We have not stopped crying. We wished we had spent more time with her and now we can't. We get some comfort knowing she is in a safe place with other relations but we will never ever forget her.
RIP Sammiexxxxwe love you alwaysxxx

This poem is very touching. my eyes teared up as I read it. My younger cousin Robert passed away recently. He was just 21 years old. Although I am very sad about his death I can also smile because I know that is just one more angel I have looking over me =) so my heart truly goes out to everyone who has lost a family remember. The pain never really goes away, but some how you learn to deal with it one day at a time. I love you Robert rest in peace dear cousin.
by Jessica Juan
I think this is an awesome poem. I love it because it really describes how I feel about my cousin's death. He died about a year and 3/4 ago. He was 16 years old and he was shot 13 times. It broke my heart when I found out and it still kills me everytime I think of him. It hit me really hard too because I was young when he died and I didn't think that that would ever happen to someone in my family. So thank you for writing this poem, and again it's amazing.
by Caitlin Williams

This poem says EVERYTHING that I feel about losing my cousin. It sent chills down my spine reading it. Andy was 19 yrs old when he was killed in a car accident in 1997. The pain never goes away and I miss him even more now. I know he is with me every step I take and that makes me feel a little better. He will always be my favorite cousin!
I miss you Andy!!!

This poem really touched my heart.
I have a three year old cousin who had an asthma attack last week and went straight into a coma. His brain cells were messed up and he wasn't getting enough oxygen at all. Tuesday March 16, 2009 he died. He wasn't breathing on his own and his heart had stopped. But now I know he is in a better place.

by Josie Owens
Thank you for writing such a beautiful poem. I lost my cousin Ryan 17 days ago in a one person car accident. I spoke to him the night that he died. He had asked me to go out with him but I couldn't I had been sick and I told him that I could next weekend. You play the "IF ONLY'S" a billion times but it doesn't change anything. Just makes you more frustrated with the truth. He was like the brother I never had. He was always so helpful to me and to our family. We are all so lost now with out him here.
by Josephine Dong
I lost my cousin in an accident 3 years ago. She was only 19 and was killed by a drunk driver. She was my best friend, my everything, my hope for survival. or so I thought. When I lost her, it was like loosing everything. It was the hardest thing I've ever experienced. It has been 3 years now, and I am doing great. What keeps me going is the fact that she was such a bubbly and happy person. She'd want me to be happy. I smile because I know she's smiling down at me! =]
