My wife found this last night and I thought I'd share with those who have been through the loss of a loved one. It doesn't take away the hurt but it helps alittle and says alot.
Death is Nothing at All
Death is Nothing at all…I have only slipped away
Into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that
we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name; speak to me in the easy
way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
We enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it
Always was. Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely
Unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your
sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
Somewhere very near just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is past, nothing is lost. One brief
moment and all will be as it was before –
Only better, infinitely happier forever – we will
All be one together with Christ
