“When you are consumed by your grief, when life has lost its meaning and its beauty, when going forward seems impossible: May there be light, even if it’s the tiniest blip in the dark. May there be comforting arms around you, friendly steps beside you, and empathic ears to hear you. May you know that you are never again alone, and that if nothing else, you have a family of people who understand. Though we may not really “know” each other, we understand, and we are here. We are here.”

“WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OURSELVES ALONE DIES WITH US; WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OTHERS AND THE WORLD REMAINS AND IS IMMORTAL.”
