What to say to someone who is grieving
|

Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty to high ideals. Sir William Ewart Gladstone |
The labyrinthine tangles of life’s ways Are with fresh lamentation threaded through, With kind folk brought to mind who of fair light Were robbed by Fate and vanished from my sight. Faust, Goethe |
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the Common Good

Went drearily singing the chore-girl small,
Draping each hive with a shred of black.
Trembling, I listened: the summer sun
Had the chill of snow;
For I knew she was telling the bees of one
Gone on the journey we all must go!
Telling the Bees, John Greenleaf Whittier

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in,
where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.
