Condolence

Where there is sorrow there is holy ground.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong at the broken places

You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore

The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent is eternal.

Sweet souls around us watch us still, press nearer to our side; into our thoughts, into our prayers, with gentle helpings glide.

From happiness to suffering is a step; from suffering to happiness is an eternity.

Love is timeless - death does not separate the lover from the beloved

Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope

In one of the stars, I shall be living. In one of them, I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night

To die completely, a person must not only forget but be forgotten, and he who is not forgotten is not dead

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings

Grief is the price we pay for love

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again

There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern - why then should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?

May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts

Every goodbye is the birth of a memory
