The great tree goes down and leaves an empty place against the sky. If the person is deeply loved and deeply familiar the void seems greater than all the world remaining. Under the surface of the visible world, there is an echoing hollowness, an aching void -- and it cut one off from the beloved. She/he is as remote as the stars. But grief is a form of love -- the longing for the dear face, the warm hand. It is the remembered reality of the beloved that calls it forth. For an instant she/he is there, and the void denied. It is not the grief, involving that momentary reality, that cuts one off from the beloved but the void that is loss. In the end one can no longer summon forth that reality, and then one’s tears dry up. But while it lasts, it is a shield against the void; and by the time the grief wanes, the terrible emptiness of loss has given way to a new world that does not contain the shape of the beloved figure. But that waning is far into the future.”<br /><br />Sheldon Vanauken in A Severe Mercy <br /><br />Praying for you.<br />Amy (A blogging friend of Lidj)Amy Guerinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729880742850937752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354957594662548238.post-32200048191080886452010-07-26T16:01:30.530-07:002010-07-26T16:01:30.530-07:00I also came over from my sister Lidj''s bl...I also came over from my sister Lidj''s blog.<br />I havea greeting from theAlmighty, who has promised; "Never willI leave nor forsake you."<br />I'm praying just now.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354957594662548238.post-46036799299164251532010-07-26T15:13:39.475-07:002010-07-26T15:13:39.475-07:00You are in my prayers.

I am sure your husband is in heaven, and all the others probably call him "Grumpy"!<br /><br />I believe we are who we are no matter life here or hereafter.
