Losing a son is one of the most heart-wrenching experiences a parent can endure. The void left by their absence can be incredibly painful, and expressing these emotions in a letter can provide solace and catharsis. In this article, we will explore the power of words in conveying emotions, memories, and the unbreakable bond between a parent and a son who is no longer with them.
Heart Touching Letter About Absence of a Son
My son left me, father. He went away to school and became an adult, putting his life on the line and risking it to protect his country.
Dear son, there are no words to tell you how much I miss you and love you. Although you left us way too soon, in our hearts and minds, you are still there with us.
When I look at your pictures, my heart skips a beat. Your absence leaves an empty place inside me.
I miss you more than anything in the world. Please come home soon. I love you with all of my heart.
We miss you so much but only because we know you haven’t left us. We know you are in heaven and that is where we all go when we die.
We think about you every day and miss hearing your voice, seeing your smile, and the way you say “I love you” like it’s the most beautiful word on earth. You are in our hearts always, son. We love you!
I don’t know where you are and I don’t know how to get to you. There is no distance great enough to stop me from finding you.
I still love you so much, because I know that a part of you will always be in my heart.
My sweet little boy, I love you more than words could ever express! I miss you so much! I know you are in heaven watching over me and your brother.
were the light of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me. I will never love anyone the way I loved you.
You are always in my heart and always in my dreams. You are my shining star! I will love you forever and ever!
Son. I have loved the time I spent with you and the good times we had.
I was there for you when you needed a friend, a father, and a mentor. But now it is time for both of us to move on with our lives.
I miss you very much and wish that somehow we could still be in each other’s lives. Please watch over me, my family, and your sisters as they grow.
My son never stopped loving you. He died alone in the mountains because of a stupid choice he made.
I wish you could have been his friend. I wish you could have met him and had the chance to know how amazing he was.
He was a fighter and a dreamer; so confident in his abilities but humble enough to know he couldn’t do it alone.
You were taken from me too soon. I was only able to hold you a few times, take pictures, and kiss your tiny face. But I will never forget my son!!!! I miss you so much.
You were almost 11 months old when we said our last goodbye. The ache in my heart remains and the memories of your precious face and tiny body will never leave me.
Hey Dad, I’m sorry I didn’t write you sooner. I’m doing fine. Being out of my mom’s house has been fun… It’s not easy though. Sometimes things get crazy and sometimes
I don’t know if you remember me, but I had the chance to meet you when you were just a young boy.
I’m sorry if I come off as slightly frightening, and I’m sorry for not coming to your funeral.
I’ve always promised myself that I won’t ever cry in front of you. That I will always be the one to protect you, especially from your sadness.
When you were out of sight and reaching a milestone in life, I’m not able to make those promises anymore.
All I can do is pray that everything would turn out okay. All I can do is tell myself that everything will be okay.
I’m afraid you would not know me. I’m much older now and my hair is longer. You do not know that I fly an airplane, but you might see me in the clouds sometimes.
You do not know that I come from a line of cowboys, a long line. There are times when yours truly has to kill a calf or two just to make the winter’s feed bill.
I’m writing this letter to let you know what a wonderful son you are. You have always been there for me and I just can’t find the words to tell you how much it means to me.
It’s times like these that make me realize how important family is.
I know your father and I didn’t always get along, but I want you to know that no matter what he loves you and will always love you.
My only child, my precious son. I love you so much and miss you every day.
You are in my dreams every night, thoughts of you tug at my heart. I wish I could kiss your sweet face.
I look at the world thru your eyes and see all the things you’d experience had you lived…the laughter, tears, relationships, and love that would have been yours for the taking.
Mummy, where are you? It’s been a very long time now, and I miss you so much. I just wish I could see you again.
I wanted to write you something. I’m writing it for me because I want this to be real one day.
Not just something that exists in a computer database. But a letter that you’ll find when we’re long gone. You were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
A tiny bundle of lavender-blue joy with a shock of dark hair and eyes so bright they pierced my heart.
I love you son with all my heart and soul. You have my blood running through your veins, you are one of the pieces that makes me whole.
I can never give up because you are my world and my boy! Stay strong and fight for your life.
I am not a religious man, but I am sure you’ve found your place in heaven. I miss you so much son and hope your pain has eased.
I love you and miss you with every breath that I take. Being a mother will always be my biggest honor and the greatest gift of all.
You are not next to me when I wake up in the morning. You are not kneeling beside me when I lay to sleep at night.
In place of you is the void. But I am always with you, my son. By the time you read this, I will likely have left this world.
I don’t complain because I know that you have to work hard to provide me with everything I need. But my greatest desire, my heart’s deepest wish is that you could be here and see me grow.
I am sorry I can’t be there to celebrate this special day, but you still bring me joy every day.
I can’t wait for the day I have you back in my arms. My whole world has been a dark cloud of pain without you.
You are my sun that lights up all those dark clouds. No matter how far away you are, we will always love each other!
Our son passed away last night and I am so sad, my little angel hugs me so tight when I remember him.
I am writing this letter to describe the death of my little boy: Last night our son was crying because he had asthma and I sent him to bed.
When he woke up he started crying again, but I didn’t hear him because the stereo was too loud.
I am tired of feeling so deeply and strongly about the incessant, physical, emotional, and mental absence of my son. I am tired of the ache in my chest reminding me he is gone.
I am out of words to say but my heart says that I am missing something.
It is about my son because when you are gone nothing matters for me. I wish you were with me always. My dear son, please come back!
Son, Love is a strange thing. It falls upon one when least expected. As I always said to you, the heart always has a way of finding what it’s looking for.
My time here draws to a close, but as long as I know that you’re out there doing good work and loving your family – my work here is done. My heart will be with you always!
Time will pass by and you will be an adult soon, my dear son. Each day you are growing up to be a man, I feel proud and honored.
My love for you grows stronger with each passing day, but my life is falling apart to keep your memory alive. Whoever has a heart of stone should get one from me to feel the pain
Little did she know how much you meant to him. He cherished the time he spent with you, but now you’re gone.
The loss is too hard to bear, he misses you so much. He wishes that God had allowed him to be at your side when you passed away, even for a little while.
If you aren’t here, I am not anywhere. If you aren’t there, I am not anywhere.
My son, I’m writing this letter to you because I feel that you needed to know something.
I have never told anyone this and you are the only person who will ever read these words and will know exactly what they mean.
There has been a time in my life when the only thing that made me able to get out of bed in the morning was your picture in front of me on my desk.
My dearest love, I’m writing this letter with so much pain and sadness in my heart. It’s the middle of the night and I can’t sleep.
Although it’s been only a few days since I’ve seen you, each second seems like an eternity.
The house that was once overflowing with your laughter and smiles is now filled with tears and hurt.
My beloved son, every night before I go to bed I pray for God to protect you from all harm.
You always were my precious when you were young, time has passed and here I am thinking of a time of you and me.
When times were hard and we did have to beg, but you know what was the best of all? The years spent with you holding my hand in the park.
Dear Son, I want you to know how much I love you. I know you are out there and that one day we will meet.
It is not a matter of if, but when. I am writing this letter to you today to tell you even though I may not get to hold you in my arms, I will be here for you forever.
To my beloved daughter, I’m so sorry I just couldn’t be there for you. My love for you will never die. I’ll always be with you in thought, spirit, and in my dreams.
I love you, my sweet son. You are my greatest treasure, the best thing that ever happened to me in life.
I would do anything to see you grow strong and healthy into a fine young man. But maybe it is not meant to be. I don’t even have your body…
My heart aches so much at the idea of you suffering somewhere in this vast world without me.
I miss your warm smile, your happy eyes, and all your little things that used to make us happy before…
My child, my love. It’s been five months since you’ve left us. Although I am broken without you, I know that you are watching over us and smiling down on us.
Dad, you are in the hearts and thoughts of all of us. Everybody misses you. We will always love you and never forget you.
I am sorry I didn’t visit you every day in the hospital. I know you understand why. I always C U !!!! Love, Mom
Mommy, I never got to say goodbye. For 13 years I knew you, loved you, and was loved by you. Now you’re gone, but your love remains in every step I take, in each beat of my heart.
Maternal love is the greatest love of all because it is pure selflessness, but most importantly it is everlasting.
I know I don’t say it often enough, but I love you, son. Every day that goes by I miss you more, and sometimes I can’t even breathe because I ache so much.
I feel dead inside without you. You are my life and have always been. There is not one thing I would change about any of it.
All I can do is keep your memory alive by talking to all of those you left behind again and again.
I don’t know where you are and I have stopped looking. You said you would never leave, but you did.
Your family is tearing apart and you are not here. We miss you more than words could ever express, but we don’t need to say that because it’s written on our faces.
Please come home soon, we all miss you more every day that goes by. I love you so much my son and I will always be looking for a way to see your smiling face again.
Last night you were with us, I held you in my arms, tonight you are gone from this earth. Tomorrow we will be going to the cemetery to put your little body away.
I know it’s not right, sometimes we wish you were still here with us. You are always on our minds. This is something no parent should have to go through. We love you and miss you so much.
Dad, I’ve been doing nothing but thinking about you! Wondering how you were managing at the new place.
I just wish I could see you or even better, just spend time with you once more. I am sure everyone in your home misses you too.
I miss your heart-touching hugs and always putting a smile on my face.
I’m not a father, I never got to be. As a child, I didn’t go to many baseball games or fishing trips.
All of the things that fathers and sons do together, I never did with you. As a father I should have been there for you, be it just to talk and listen.
You were never the same after we lost your mother. You closed yourself off from everyone and everything around you. That was almost 10 years ago, that day everything changed.
I want to write a letter to my son, wherever he is. I want him to know that I love him and miss him every day.
I hope one day he will get to read this letter and come home…
Dear Mom, I am sorry for being away for some time in your life. Some little boys are born to be fathers, and some grow up to be one.
I am a son that grew up to be a father. I miss you and love you so much.
Where are you, my son? I wish that you could read these words and come home.
This is the hardest love letter I will ever write, for I know those words cannot be read anymore.
I am sorry son, If only your mother had written you a letter you could have read before she went away.
All I want is for you to come back! To be a happy family again! You were my world, now there is nothing left here for me.
Dear son, You have no idea how much I miss you. I don’t understand why things turned out this way.
If only I could hold you once more and kiss your little face. If only I could continue his life with all my love.
I carry you deep in my heart every day and night, praying that we’ll be together again one day.
Dear Dad, I love you and miss you so much. I wish every day that I could hug your big strong arms.
I can’t wait to be with you. I know you will make me laugh when we play together. People say I look like you. Are you proud of me? I love you, your son.
Dear Anthony, I miss you more than words could say. You are a constant and consistent thought in my mind.
I keep your room ready just in case you decide to come home. I love you and hope wherever you are, that life is treating you well.
I don’t know where you are. You could be dead or alive. I just wish you could find the courage to reach out to me again so that I know you’re okay.
I think of you every day and wish so much that I could hold you in my arms and hold your head to my chest as you hear how much I love you.
My dearest son, You were one of the best decisions I ever made. You changed my life in so many ways, and you continue to do so even now.
At times I miss your touch, the feel of your little hands wrapped around mine, and even though you’re only a few miles away it seems like such a small distance.
You were a child full of joy and happiness. You were the most loveable kid… I don’t even remember if you were cute or not because I gave birth to you.
All I can remember is your smile, your laughter, and the love that radiated from within.
We all miss you so much— even though it has been 8 long years without you we will never stop missing you.
I miss you so much. It’s not the same around here without you here. I just wanted to say that I love you, see you soon, and for you to enjoy heaven up there.
I hope that your wings are as white as snow and that your paths are full of clouds. Love, Mom xoxo
When the sun goes down, the stars come out to play; so we’ll soar amongst those stars together with you.
