Amelia, the below is meant as a wee gift. It's something that frequently helps me when I'm in unimaginable pain from grief about my mother, and I thought it might bring some good to your heart too. Please, if it is not what you want on your thread, tell me and I will delete it at once. It's by Dylan Thomas.


And Death Shall Have No Dominion
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead man naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

~ it's the first stanza.

"Though lovers be lost love shall not" I think refers to all human experience of love. It doesn't leave or go away because of death.

It comforts me to think of us all, one day, having stars at elbow and foot
