When Tomorrow Starts Without Me (Poem)

Losing a partner
1

When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me

I wish you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
Each time that you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too

When tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready
In Heaven far above
And That I would have to leave behind
All those I dearly love

But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home
When GOD looked down and smiled at me
From his golden throne

He said This Is Eternity
And all I promised you
Today your life on earth is done
But here it starts a new

I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day’s the exact same way
There is no longing for the past

So when tomorrow starts without me
Do not think we’re apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I’m right here in your heart.

So sorry for the loss of you beloved son.

Thank you Lorraine, Carol and Julie. Hope the poem brought some comfort.
But just more tears I’m afraid. Will they ever end?
Sending you a virtual hug.
Take care.

Hi sad2

Thank you for that wonderful poem, it gave me an uplift.

I’m 19 months down the line and the tears and heartache still keep coming, not as frequent or severe as before, but they still keep coming, will they ever end, I doubt it, I don’t think I want them to.

Take care all of you.

Hello again.
I have already thanked you for the wonderful poem by just want to say again how beautiful it is. As usual I have been all alone again today and I reread your poem I did give me comfort and reading other peoples messages to you help as well. I have just had another day alone. Family members seem to be over the grief now. In a way I am glad they are coping but I am just left alone to be unhappy. Life is so hard but I want to say a big thank you to all of you on this site. It is the only communication I have with anyone so a big thank you to you all. Carol

Hi carol I am so sorry you feel so alone I lost my sole mate last September and I miss him so much he has left a huge whole in my life and your right the loneliness is awful our families move on a bit quicker than us because mine still have husbands and family at home for us we shut the door and that’s it we’re on our own. I know I am in early grief and everyone says it’s early days , so I live in hope that it will get better and i wont spend the whole day trying to fill it. I hope you can find some help Age UK are very good and will phone to chat to you best wishes to you :hugs:xx

HelloSalrpl
Thank you so much for your message. Everything you say is so true. Family just told me they won’t be visiting for a while because they want to stay home and watch the games on TV. That just makes me feel really upset although I know I shouldn’t be because they have to live their own lives. It just makes me feel even more alone. Don’t know what to do anymore. Time is going so slowly and I just can’t do anything. Thank you again for your message. I am so grateful to everyone who uses this site. You all help me so much. . Carol

Thank you for these beautiful words, 23.06.2017 I lost my husband my soulmate my best friend. He was only 51 and it seemed so unfair. In truth it was his time he suffered every day so now I can see this was a kindness for him. Bless you
