“For Those Who Have Died”

“For Those Who Have Died”

“Eleh Ezkerah” (“These We Remember”)

“Tis a fearful thing

To love

What death can touch.

To love, to hope, to dream,

And oh, to lose.

A thing for fools, this,

Love,

But a holy thing,

To love what death can touch.

For your life has lived in me;

Your laugh once lifted me;

Your word was a gift to me.

To remember this brings painful joy.

Tis a human thing, love,

A holy thing,

To love

What death can touch.”

- Chaim Stern

Graphic: “Into The Silent Land”,

by Henry Pegram, 1905

I lost someone I loved today, cancer took her away and there was nothing more they could do. I held her close as her breathing slowed, then stopped. She passed to a better world, and I cried pitifully in shock and disbelief, heartbroken, and will again as I grieve the loss of  someone so precious to me. I'll resume the blog as soon as I can, thanks for your understanding...

We shall meet again...
