Sam, I too lost a husband many years ago so I know and understand your heavy heart. I am truly so terribly sorry for your loss. Just wanted you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this trying time.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
This is the cycle of Life and of All Good. God is near. God is here. Amen. Same I hope this helps you find some comfort...I love you and am thinking of you!!
