Hello, I have just written a poem and thought I would share… as it helps me to write things down. My beautiful daughter Chloe passed 1 year ago today. I’m so so very sad. Feel so many emotions a Complete rollercoaster. I have had a candle lit all day and painted a pebble for her resting place. Eaten some of her favourite cake and painted my nails purple. Also written this poem in my journal.
The day you left.
I feel so empty.
But I feel so heavy.
I feel such sorrow.
I feel so lonely.
I feel so numb.
I feel such pain.
I know I will never
Feel the same.
I feel regret.
I feel guilt.
I feel part of me died
On the day you left.
You are so beautiful
And oh so loved.
I hear your laugh &
Remember your smile.
The mole on your leg
You always tried to hide.
Your long blond hair
So stunningly straight.
Your eyes & your mouth
And the shape of your face.
Your love for your family.
So protective & strong.

I lost my beautiful son Reece f31 last October and my grieving is made worse by his wife and her family who took him over and I wasn’t there when he passed from brain and spine cancer. He had never had a girlfriend before and he met his wife in 2021, i know he was happy and they made lots of memories but i felt not part of his life anymore. In his last few months i was put on the calendar for a couple of hours once a week as he lived and died in her flat. When he was diagnosed in 2017 i was with him all the time with his treatment at the Marsden in Sutton and we were so close. When he was diagnosed terminal in 2022 i had no involvement in anything and this has made my grieving much worse
Beautiful. I’m crying here. Iost my beautiful daughter just over 4 weeks ago. Im absolutely distraught. I too find writing poems helps and i would like to share mine when i learn how, as i just joined today
That would be great. What makes me smile too is seeing those paintings by Banksy of animals on buildings . The only shame is when people ruin them , it would be nice to see some of Angels to ,they are beautiful.
HI frankie my name is mrchipps thepoet.
It was given to me by a fellow lady student when we were graduating in i999, i have used it since then for my poetry.
I stopped counting after i reached 2000 poems.
I lost my Daughter at 28 years old, she was 7and a half months pregnant. The inquest said it was adult death syndrome, but I can’t take that as an answer, the waste of 2 lives for no reason, literally, she left a little girl aged 7 now , no idea how to answer her questions , as mine are the same
I am breaking my word not to advise. But perhaps you could tell her child , that mummy has gone to be with the angels, and to look after the angel babies in heaven.
My friend used to tell her grandson Ben, that grandad Derek had gone to heaven, to clean the stars to keep them shiny, Ben loved it and used to look for the shiniest stars regularly. mr chipps the poet.
Ohh we do that all the time, I appreciate your advice, tell her momma is the Brightest star in the sky , she was 19 months when her momma died , we always have talked to her as she’s grown in a way she can understand, but now she’s asking more and more , and we have no answers . Weve planted a tree in a special place , so we can visit with her , we wish on every star , it’s just hard to explain, we’ve asked for help somewhere bereavement counseling, as we don’t want to say the wrong thing to her at this point
Simply believe in everything that you tell her.
I love the idea of a tree, perhaps when leaves fall of it, you can tell her that her mummy is sending love to new born babbies on earth to help them stay safe and grow strong.
Its only a suggestion from my heart to yours. Peace and love be with you all.

This is so beautifully written. It explains exactly how I feel too. We are not alone in our awful journey.
My 33yr old daughter passed away 9 weeks tomorrow. I saw her for the last time 9 weeks today. She was so beautiful and the most caring person, always looking after everyone else but couldn’t look after herself.
I too am writing a journal which helps but of course wish I wasn’t actually writing in this way about my daughter.
Beautiful words. I too wrote poetry after my daughter died suddenly 3 years ago, i also used to write letters to her. Over the last few months i have found it really hard to write anything to her or about her, i find myself grieving more than ever, it seems to be getting worse. I am finding it so hard to accept that i will never see her or hear her or hold her again. My heart is broken as is my life. I find myself crying all the time, i thought i was coping, but I’m not.
Sadly grief can be luke that.
After 30 years i had a,vision of my wifes funeral, the o ly part of it was me kissing the bottom of her casket and it transferred to her tiny feet.
She sent me the message, that it was time for me to move on and look forward and not be lonely anymore.
I found that grief comes in waves of varying depths and hits you when you think you have got over it.
Similarly to health issues such as cancer and colitis. If you have been bereaved less than 3 months, you can be going through autopilot. Then the. Next stage is 2 years. Where we begin to accept its time to move on.
This is only my experience and knowledge people.
May your angels give you love and strength, Mr. chipps 1
I’m so sorry we are all experiencing this indescribable pain through the loss of our beloved children.
I am struggling with my grief after just passing the 1st year anniversary. The complete despair and the feelings of utter hopelessness are so overwhelming. I just cannot bear to look to the future it’s far too awful to comprehend another 30 years or so without my daughter. I have turned to painting as it gives my brain a break from this pain all the time. So much easier in many ways to isolate as no one understands:(
It’s so unbearable and unbelievable. We lost our 33 yr old daughter 9 weeks ago. I just wish she would walk through our door. She was so beautiful but fell in love with the wrong man. Every morning is another day to face without her. The grief is unbearable but keeps us close to our beloved daughter. Her birthday is coming soon which is going to be hard for us to deal with.
Everyone who has lost a child knows what the pain feels like. It’s still too raw for me to just think about the happy times, we need answers but I doubt we will get any.
Thinking of you all and sharing your pain during the most difficult time in our lives.
Im sending you a virtual hug and my best wishes and love of my guardian angel to give you strength, as I don’t know what else to say or do ??
Peace and love be with you always
