a poem to remember
your loved one
Let’s not grieve alone.
Let’s not mourn in silence.
Let’s not stay numb to our sorrow.
We need a safe way
In grief, we need a safe way to feel the loss of our loved ones. Especially when we’ve been isolated from friends and family, unable to gather for services and funerals, we need a way to pay our respects, say good-bye to our loved ones, mark their passing, celebrate their lives.
Making a memorial poem
Creating a memorial poem, and the poem itself, can meet these needs, providing a consoling container for grief and sorrow as we honor our loved ones and come to terms with our loss.
My name is Lisa. I’m a seasoned poet and writing teacher. I’ve lost loved ones and I’ve had to work through grief. I’m here to support you in making a memorial poem in the way that works best for you.
Choosing a service
You might choose to write on your own, or together with family and friends, using my free Writing Guide to keep you company.
You might like to have one-to-one coaching as you write, or take part with a few others in a series of four online classes.
You might prefer to commission a memorial poem. Drawing on your written reflections and our conversation, I’ll craft the poem for you.
Sustaining memory
A memorial poem sustains the memory of your loved one. It captures the images and stories that have made this person, and your relationship, unique. And it records remembrances too important to be forgotten.
