My heart goes out to all of you who have either suffered a sad loss lately or are struggling to cope because one is expected soon.
Please, store up those wonderful memories of your loved ones while they are with you. Those are the real treasures in this life and the love that you share with another never dies. It is, and remains, a living thing.
Even when the one you love is physically gone you can take out those memories and they will bring sunshine and joy into the day. They bring tears too because the thing you will miss most is not being able to hear that beloved voice or being able to hold them to you just one more time.
Keep that love alive and comfort one another. My prayers and thought are with you.
With love Bernadette
