TO A BEREAVED ONE FRESH PARTED FROM HER LIFE'S MATE

TO A BEREAVED ONE FRESH PARTED FROM HER LIFE'S MATE

Sorry to hear. Hold fast onto his memory, yet move along.

Memory perfected becomes vision. Love is never lost in the strong heart.

Grieve not, dear friend, but give your best to life and love with a spine of steel and a honeyed heart that feels for all and befriends the world. Read Swami Vivekananda and seek solace in an often pitiless world where you may be the beacon of hope and succour for others less endowed in character-strength than you are.

My condolences notwithstanding, the pain of separation in throbbing memory will continue to haunt one so bereft of the company of the loved one, but you move on with a full heart and a spirit undaunted through the vicissitudes of life, a wellspring of hope and a leading star amidst the deep dark night that surrounds us all. In lingering love seek not solace but in bond unbroken of stronger steel seek it in a mighty manner, then spread your vibrancy, fresh-found, among drooping hearts who fail to do so.

May love ever dwell in your undying heart! May the memory of your life's mate come alive each day, each hour in every deed of yours, in every dream of yours, in every inspirational imagining that careers you on! May Mother bless you and yours ever is the soft prayer of this brother of yours!
