‘Death ends a life, not a relationship.’ ~Robert Benchley
It is always difficult to understand death or make sense of the loss of a loved one through death. We want our loved ones with us always and yet we know thatjust as we are born we must also die. Today is traditionally known as All Souls Day and is a day to pause, reflect and pray for those who have died particularly our nearest and dearest.
Many people will visit a cemetery today or some part of this month. It is not an empty or meaningless task. It’s always good to remember those who have died. Our belief is that death is not an end but a beginning for the soul or spirit of the person who has died. Our belief is that our loved ones who have died are still near us but not physically with us.
Trying to put this into words is never easy. The only words that really matter today are to our loved ones who have died. Some of these words might be: we still miss you, thank you for so many memories, you are remembered with love today, you will never be forgotten and may you rest in peace. Amen
