A place of solitude and reflection
1. What the caterpillar perceives is the end,
to the butterfly is just the beginning.
Everything that has a beginning has an ending,
Make your peace with that and all will be well - Buddhist saying
2. Death...the last sleep? No! The final awakening - Walter Scott
3. God shall wipe all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away - Bible Quote
4. We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give - Winston Churchill
5. What the heart has once known, it shall never forget - Author unknown
6. Say not in grief that she is no more
but say in thankfulness that she was
A death is not the extinguishing of a light,
but the putting out of the lamp
because the dawn has come - Rabindranath Tagore
7. Say not in grief he is no more - but live in thankfulness that he was. - Hebrew Proverb
8. What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us-
Helen Keller
9. The song is ended, but the melody lingers on - Irving Berlin
10.I fall asleep in the full and certain hope
That my slumber shall not be broken,
And that though I be all-forgetting,
Yet shall I not be all-forgotten,
But continue that life in the thoughts and deeds
of those I have loved - Samuel Butler
11.Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you there - Isla Pascha Richardson

music and poetry combined
Angel in the storm
I see you weep
I see your sorrow
I know that today
Brings no less than tomorrow
The end of your pain
Your loss, your grief
Your physical frailty
And all that lies beneath
I want you to know
I am here with you now
And again, One day
You will see just how
I do not feel pain
Nor burden of death
I am the love that you feel
That you whisper upon breath
Do not suffer at the hands of mercy
One day you will be here and see the glory
Until that day I shall wait for you
And be in everything that you do
Children of light
Shine bright against the night
Holding hands
We now shine with all our might
For all to see
That at the hands of mercy
We shall not be taken
We shall be free
I see your sorrow
I know that today
Brings no less than tomorrow
The end of your pain
Your loss, your grief
Your physical frailty
And all that lies beneath
I want you to know
I am here with you now
And again, One day
You will see just how
I do not feel pain
Nor burden of death
I am the love that you feel
That you whisper upon breath
Do not suffer at the hands of mercy
One day you will be here and see the glory
Until that day I shall wait for you
And be in everything that you do
Children of light
Shine bright against the night
Holding hands
We now shine with all our might
For all to see
That at the hands of mercy
We shall not be taken
We shall be free
