The Emptiness of Absence



“And when he fell in a whirlwind, he went down
As when a lordly cedar, green with boughs
Goes down with a great shout upon the hills
And leaves a lonesome place against the sky.”
-         Edwin Markham’s eulogy for Abraham Lincoln

You are not alone in your pain, your solitude.  We all experience in turn when death takes away something that we love.  You are not alone.
