don’t cry for me when I’m gone
So even if I give you my whole heart, the time will come when we must part. but around you, you will see, creatures that speak to you about me; a tired horse, a hunted thing, a sparrow with a broken wing. pity – and help (I know you will) and somehow, I’ll be with you still; And I will know, even though I’m gone, the love I gave you persists. source – unknown
your journey has just begun
don’t think of her as gone, her journey has just begun, life has so many facets, this land is only one.
think of her resting from sorrows and tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years.
Think about how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really go away.
and think of her living and think of her living in the hearts of those she touched, for nothing they love is lost, and she was loved so much.source: ellen brenneman
don’t stand by my grave and cry
Don’t stand on my grave and cry, I’m not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond sparkles in the snow, I am the sun in the ripe grain, I am the soft autumn rain. When you wake up in the morning hushi I am the fast uplifting torrent of silent birds in circular flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. don’t stand on my grave and cry, I’m not there; I didn’t die.
death is nothing
death is nothing at all. does not count. I just slipped into the next room.
everything remains exactly as it was. I am me, and you are you, and the old life that we lived together so lovingly remains intact, unchanged. what we were to each other, we still are.
call me by the old familiar name. talk about me in the easy way you always used. don’t put any difference in your tone. don’t use a forced air of solemnity or sadness.
laugh like we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. play, smile, think of me, pray for me. may my name always be the household word it always was. that is spoken effortlessly, without the ghost of a shadow hanging over it.
Life means everything it ever meant. It’s the same as it always was. there is an absolute and unbroken continuity. what is this death but a trifling accident?
Why should I be out of my mind because I’m out of sight? I’m just waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very close, just around the corner.
everything is fine. nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. A brief moment and everything will go back to the way it was before. how we will laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
rainbow bridge
just this side of the sky is a place called the rainbow bridge.
When an animal that has been especially close to someone here dies, that pet goes to the rainbow bridge. there are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. there is plenty of food, water and sun, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
all the animals that had been sick and aged are restored to health and vigour; those who were injured or maimed are healed and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times past. the animals are happy and content, except for one little thing; each misses someone very special to them, whom they had to leave behind.
they all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. his bright eyes are attentive; His eager body shudders. He suddenly starts running from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
They’ve seen you, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you join in a joyous reunion, never to be apart again. happy kisses rain on your face; your hands caress the beloved head again, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so far from your life but never absent from your heart.
then they cross the rainbow bridge together…
