Love transcends death.
Grief Poem
Contributed by Chaplin Robert Orr - Kindred Hospice
Grief is the last act of love we give to our loved one.
Where there is deep grief there is great love. Grief is a great rite of
passage, it is a heros journey of courage, of sacred battles, sorrow,
love, joy and loss.
Through the darkness of grief we can see the light of love which
transcends death. And with the pain can come gratitude for the gift of
time we had, the love that was shared and the power to become a
better person because they loved us.

Grief is love with nowhere to go. Yes. I lost my longtime fur companion of 14 years a few weeks ago.
