They said farewell.
They said goodnight.
They walked into dark
From light.
Their hearts were sad.
Their eyes were bright
With tears that grief will soon ignite.
Her passing’s new
Her suffering done.
They walked with her as
One cycle ended and a new began.

Thank you! Indeed, sometimes a passing holds a layer of comfort in it, in that one knows that at least the suffering of the departed has ceased. May we know little sorrow and much joy. Na’ama

Thank you, friend. It is the way of the world, and a natural part of life and death that we are born and we depart and we love and we grieve and we remember and live, hopefully in the best way we can. She was a good woman. It matters. Thank you, again! Na’ama
