TheBanyanTree: The Fourth Anniversary

[Janice Money]

Nancy,

I never know what to say when someone has suffered such a loss.  Words seem
so futile.  But I have offered some prayers for you and the rest of your
family.

Janice

Margaret,
 
Your posting has helped me today more than you could ever realize.   This 
past Tuesday, my husband passed away instantly from a horrid  accident.  We
had spent the morning together, breakfast, then back to his  house to play
on the computer (he liked to show me his mail, lol) and then we  planned our
weekend. This weekend.  You see, we had separated some years  ago, and
slowly were making our way back to each other. We were talking "future"  and
forever. and I realized that in spite of the crap that separated us, he and
I were always, he and I.
 
I am in a million pieces.
 
But, your posting helped, since I still feel him, smell him, hear  him.
 
 
 
The  great and sad mistake of many people is to imagine that those whom
death has taken leave us.  They do not leave us.  They  remain.  Where are
they?
In darkness?  Oh no!  It is we who  are in darkness.  We do not see them
because the dark cloud envelopes  us, but they see us.  Their beautiful
eyes, radiant with glory, are  fixed upon our tear-filled eyes.  Our dead
are invisible to us, but  they are not  absent.
