Poem with Comforting Words for a Farewell
Personal poems often remind the bereaved of warm memories and beautiful moments shared. Below is an example of a comforting poem about grief and saying goodbye.
Not together anymore, but always near
He lives on in you and in me
Cherish his warmth, remember his might
He watches over you, day and night
Feel his presence in the sun on your face
In a memory that unexpectedly brings grace
Remember him brightly, with joy and with pride
His love surrounds you, time and again
He lives on in every smile, in every gesture
He dwells in your heart, forever there
In heartwarming love that always remains
In a story that you now continue to share

Farewell Texts upon a Passing
Saying goodbye is a personal process. During a funeral or farewell ceremony, you may want to share beautiful memories with your family and other loved ones. But how do you write a heartfelt farewell text when your father, mother, family member, or friend passes away?
Speak from the Heart
A farewell text does not have to be perfect or long, but it should be sincere. Write a speech with the departed loved one in mind. Direct your words not only to the audience but especially to the deceased. Reflect on who this person was to you. What was your relationship like? How will you remember them forever? Are there specific qualities or traits that you will never forget?
Add Personal Anecdotes
Talk about specific moments that were characteristic of the deceased. Illustrate these with lighthearted stories or certain situations involving their passions or hobbies. You may also recall conversations you once had and share a wise lesson you learned from them.
Create a Comforting Sense of Togetherness
Include others in your grief. Share your sorrow and also offer support to other attendees. Emphasize that the memories of the departed will forever remain in the hearts of every mourner. Use phrases like “His love will live on in our hearts forever” or “Our memories of her remain a source of strength.”
End with a Warm Thought about the Departed
At the end of your farewell text, you can add a wish, quote, or poem. Or express gratitude to your late father, mother, or family member for everything they have done or meant to you.
For example: “Dear Dad, you taught us to stand firmly on the ground.” Even though we feel a bit lost now, your love and strength will always be our compass. We miss you in every moment, big or small, but we carry you with us in everything we do. Thank you for everything—you will always remain in our hearts.”
For example: “Grandma, you taught us that love is found in the little things: a warm cup of tea, a good conversation, a gentle hand on our shoulder. We will miss you. Rest in peace.”
