Thank you for sharing this experience. I have lost so many precious people in my life and the only solace I have is my wonderful memories of them all.
This is something I read at my Mothers funeral and has such a deep and meaningful message that maybe will help you. I hope so.
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.
