I am sorry to hear or your Mom's passing. After reading Jodie's inspiring words it reminded me of a poem my own Mom gave me many years ago when in needed inspriation and comfort.
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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
When I heard of the death of your mother I was saddened. I just want you to know that if theres anything I can do to help you or your family during this time of loss, please let me know.
Warm Regards,
Dave Slaughter
