CONNECTING TO GRIEF COPING WITH GRIEF CONQUERING GRIEF CONTINUING LIFE WITHOUT GRIEF "Here lies my teacher; Here lies my companion; Here lies my friend. I was blessed to have known him And have him leave his imprint on my life - My Scotty." Some people walk in and out of your life while others leave their mark. We''re always seeking something else, passing the gift of friends so dear. I was blessed to have you as a friend with whom I''d grown so close. To you my friend, I''d like to say your friendship meant the most. As I share this thought with you you''ll know it''s from my heart. Your gift to me was priceless - the value of infinity. How happy I was to have known you and now life''s empty without you. I pray the Lord to keep you until we re-connect. We must learn the mistakes of others, as life doesn''t give a second chance. The circle of friends should be endless as in no beginning and no end. Our yesterdays are now our history; tomorrow is strictly a mystery. Seize today and simply say ... Friends you and me, from now through all eternity. Stephen Paul Tolmie

"Life Goes On ... But Are You Going On With Your Life"? This is easier said than done. Before you can begin the path through grief, I feel we must first go back to the beginning of your relationship with your spouse. For it is at this point you will first be able to get in touch with your inner self and with the essence of the beginning of your emotional connection. The path through grief is a dark and lonely trail, one you have to endure without assistance. There is no "proper" or "improper" method, map, or schedule about HOW to endure it. There is no guide about the affect on you or on those around you. You must learn how to cope on a daily basis ... One Day at a Time. You must realize that you will make mistakes and be a big enough person to realize that and not be ashamed to admit it... either to yourself or to others. "Life is not measured by the number or breaths we take, but rather by the moments that take our breath away" LOVE IS FOREVER May God bless all who read this book. I hope it has given you a little bit of inner peace, of comfort and a sense of closeness to the loved one who has gone before you IN MEMORY "Her voice still echoes Her life still inspires Her light still shines And always will I''m so thankful that I knew her She lives on in so many hearts Including mine Our lives are still connected -Heart to heart: soul to soul" .Poem from a Hallmark Card
