A friend passed away a couple of weeks ago, after a long illness. I am heartbroken and I just can’t seem to find the words to express my sorrow.
I was going to write a post spouting pearls of wisdom but really, we all do know what is important in life. Don’t wait for a fatal illness or tragedy in your life to remember that.
So instead, I offer this prayer (based on Metta) from the bottom of my heart for my friend Karen:
May you be happy
May you live in the Peace that surpasses all understanding
May you be free
I feel blessed to have known you, I am honored to carry your memory in my heart.
Deborah,
I’m so sorry to read about the loss of your friend. No words can do justice for this type of pain.
Your blog post moved me and I hope it helps many to pause, as we never know what may happen to those we love from one moment to the next.
I will lift you up and Karen’s family up in prayer during this difficult time.
