#we bereaved

[symphonyoflovenet]

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Helen Keller, We Bereaved

We look round the happy circle of our friends and it seems to us that we are the only ones bereaved; the only ones to whom has come this terrible emptiness, this dark void of loneliness. When this thought overwhelms us, it is well to remember that we are not alone in our sorrow.

Helen Keller (We Bereaved)

All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Our beloved ones are no more lost to us when they die than if they were still laughing and loving and working and playing at our side.

"For three things I thank God every day of my life--- that he has vouchsafed me knowledge of His Works, deep thanks that He has set in my darkness the lamp of faith, deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to--- a life joyous with light and flowers and heavenly song." - Helen Keller (We Bereaved)

"Life on earth is only one phase of the universal life. Then why are we terrified by death which is only a milepost on the journey toward perfect and eternal life?" - Helen Keller (We Bereaved)
