Firstly - what a kind thought for Pink to dedicate today's daily to smokeybabe and her family.

My heart goes out to you and your family, he was so strong through it, and especially you for being there, supporting him, aswell as others. You are one in a million and he's at peace now, knowing how much you cared/loved for him. Laugh/smile when rembering the happy times, but also take time out to grieve.

My thoughts are with you.
Take care
Love Emma xxx

This poem helped my family a lot when my father died:

---

Death is nothing at all
Henry Scott Holland

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.

My deepest condolences for your loss, smoky.

"Do not stand by 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 soft refreshing rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I did not die."

Smokey,

I posted last night when I read your news, you have been so brave through all this, when things have settled a bit try and take a bit of time for yourself. You are going to need to be even stronger now for your chidlren who are going to need you so much.

If you need help, you only have to say..................do not feel that it is weakness to ask, its not, it is the sensible thing to do. All your friends at MSE are with you in spirit.

Take care, you have some difficult times ahead, but you will cope...........feelings are very raw just now, it will take time, but it will get better, give it time. Eric will always be with you and your family............

Love Csarina
