After attending a funeral for a family member this morning, I have done a bit of reflection, as one tends to at times like these. I have sat here for the last few hours trying to work what to write, to express the feelings I have, yet wanting to protect the privacy of my family and the loss/grief that they are experiencing at this time.
His Journey’s Just Begun
By Ellen Brenneman
Don’t think of him as gone away
his journey’s just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.
Rest in Peace “L”, you will be missed but never forgotten.
I’m very sorry for your loss, Janine. Thinking of you at this sad time.
The poem is beautiful and the sentiment is very true.
Hugs to you xx
