Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave bereft
I am not there. I have not left.

Sincere condolences to VR and family.

VR, I am so sorry about your dad, my heartfelt condolences.

To all of you that have been touched by a loss, I was sent this not too long ago and share it with you:

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Sodden

Upon a peak made bald by icy scour,
Enfolded in the zephyrs' coats of rime,
before the sunlight's feeble last half-hour,
I contemplate, while calculating prime,

a breath of words that mist an airy mark,
a countenance distilled into a stream,
a self-made arrow's suicidal arc
that pierces the reflection of a dream

of rolling thunder running up the shore
of sand escaping from a pinch-waist glass
of port not drunk behind a slamming door
but with a solemn toast, "These times will pass",

and thus unfold a crumpled, cooling self
that sought to ossify upon a shelf.

A friend once told me that "we cannot chart another's feelings about grief in degrees or values. Grief is a part of our emotional self and how we experience it is ours alone". So I know of no way, even with personal experience, of guiding those individuals so affected through that icy place. But if it helps, I...we, all stand beside you to hold you upright, that you may eventually find a way to "unfold" yourself from the grip of grief into the cold contentment of mourning. My heart is with you all.

A candle and a prayer for Diana Wynne Jones. The world lost a wonderful, imaginative writer yesterday.

One of my favourite authors when I was young. Her passing is deeply saddening.
