When I go,
don’t learn to live without me,
just learn to live with my love,
in a different way.

And if you need to see me,
close your eyes,
or look in your shadow,
when the sun shines,

I’m there.

Sit with me in the quiet and you will know,
that I did not leave.

There is no leaving when a soul is blended with another.

When I go,
don’t learn to live without me,
just learn to look for me in the moments.

I will be there.

By Donna Ashworth

Love doesn’t end when someone dies. Once the sharpness of grief eases, it is our love and our memories that bring us comfort and strength.

Do not be afraid: love will not forget you. It has stood by you through many years, many struggles and many sorrows. It has been there in the most beautiful moments of your happiness and in the most healing moments of your life’s unfolding. It has weathered storms. It has presided over peace. Love has been your most steadfast and faithful companion. So do not be afraid: love will not forget you. It is with you now. It will remain with you. Its protection will shelter you. Its energy will renew you. Love listens, love acknowledges, love responds. Love is how you experience the Spirit sisters 👯‍♀️

When you remember me, it means you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are.
It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us.
It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart ..

“The Journey Home”

“What’s in the bag?” asked the little cat. “It looks really heavy.”

Oh, lots of things,” sighed the little girl. “My fears, my worries, my hurts and my mistakes.”

“But don’t you remember where we’re going?” replied the cat. “You won’t need any of those things when we get there. It’s finally time to put the bag down and leave it behind….Oh, and you won’t need your scarf either, for I’m told it will always be spring.”

When you’ve nothing to give
But the love within your heart
A gentle touch
Is everything

Sometimes I have the most inspiration for services when I walk my dog. Many of my clients have had pets that were very important in their lives and if appropriate I include them in the service. To me a eulogy is not a CV or chronology of a life, but a collection of memories and stories that remind the congregation of the unique life of their loved one.
