I can't imagine how you feel,
the emotions of what you are going through.
All I can do is say "I'm sorry,"
and do my best to be there for you.

The people we love, care for,
even idolize leave at too high a cost.
Because once they are gone, we mourn,
we cry, and even pray for the one we have lost.

I can't imagine how you feel,
while you are bereft of that special person now.
I can swear to you, that this moment and forever on,
my shoulder is yours to lean on, and this I avow.

You are not alone, other hurt now too,
for this loved one touched many a soul.
While in your heart there may be a hole,
In time their memory you'll be able to extol.

I can't imagine how you feel,
I really can't grasp the concept or have a clue.
I won't be able to help you get over it,
but how to live, push forward, and love again; I will, always for you.

This was originally written for a friend that lost someone special in their life. I slightly modified it in generality to allow others' to apply it for their loved ones, and I really like how it turned out. I hope this can be a stepping stone for those you have lost, and help you move forward. I am here for anyone and everyone that needs an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, or simply just be there.
