Remember Me by Lynn New.


No pain beyond, no tears, no fear.
No thoughts of death for I'm still near.
No hugs I know, nor sweet caress,
But I'm still close to love and bless.
No quiet word, nor gentle touch,
But don't despair ~ I love you much.
No gesture kind, to show I care;
The veil's drawn, but I'm still there.
Grieve not too long ~ but look around,
In earthly things I shall be found.
A falling leaf, a growing tree,
In every breeze you will feel me.
I walk in life ~ death holds no pain.
Be Reassured, we'll meet again.


I hope this helps a little to all who are missing loved ones.

Hi Sandie,

I hope this helps. It helped me


Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.


My very, very best, my friend

I miss my mum and dad.
Mum died in 1991 and had suffered many strokes and heart attacks the 10 yrs before she died we had done a lot of grieving during that time before her death.
Dad died in 2004 at 90 (2 weeks short of his 91st birthday ) I think of him every day, he had all his marbles and could out argue any MP, but his body wasn't as good as his mind and he died off heart failure, quite suddenly.
I could cry about him now just typing these words.
People will never know how much I miss him so and the heartache doesn't go away.

I miss my brother, I used to buy birthday cards on his birthday but moving house a few years ago I decided to recycle them all as they were never sent.

Funny you should say that, Uzzi

I still have my landline number showing on my mobile as "Ian" (my late husband)

The odd time when my daughter's at my house and I'm at work, she'll ring me, and - of course - my mobile shows "Ian". Talk about your blood running cold.

I should change it, of course, but the very idea of "deleting" him seems wrong

Take care, Uzzi

I miss my Dad everyday although the pain has eased. I still expect him to answer the phone when I ring Mum - even after nearly 3 years. His great grandchildren are growing up so fast. He would loved have seen them grow and he has 3 more since he passed.

I hope you're remembering the good times Uzzi.

Rose made my think. I miss my mum saying "don't worry, we'll sort it out" - by which she meant, of course, that she'd sort it out.

She fixed most things for me - anything from a bit of homework on the "I don't get it" pile to an "unforeseen" overdraft.

Come to think of it, I miss being a daughter
