Poem of the Day
Love Is Stronger Than Death
- Mary HollingsworthLove is stronger than death.
So, I must be content to know that
love is not affected by death-
it doesn't end, it doesn't diminish,
it doesn't change.
Instead, love is immortalized
and eternalized through death.
And the possibility of that love ever
being damaged or broken
is eliminated forever.
I'll put my trust in love.

To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever…The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes… This hole in your heart is the shape of the one you lost – no one else can fit it.
- Unknown
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts.
- Mahatma Gandhi
It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.

I guess by now I should know enough about loss to realize that you never really stop missing someone-you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence.
- Alyson Noel, Evermore
In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory.
- J.R.R. Tolkien
